  1. aNumber of females tested.
  2. bMeans (±SE) differ significantly at P<0.001 (***) (Kruskal–Wallis test); ns, not significant at P>0.05. The data of % female offspring followed by different letters are significantly different at P<0.05 (Scheffé's test). Arcsin-transformed values were used for analyzing the percentages of egg hatchability, survival rate and % female offspring.
