From: Plastic female choice to optimally balance (k)in- and out-breeding in a predatory mite
Female choice between siblings and non-kin. Mate preference of virgin predatory mite females Phytoseiulus persimilis from Sicily and Greece presented a binary choice of a familiar or an unfamiliar brother and a non-kin male (coming from another population). Dotted vertical lines indicate the expected proportions at no preference. P-levels inside bars refer to GLM within each population and choice scenario, assuming random choice; the P-level between bars refers to GLM between the two populations, assuming same choice. N = 15 (Greece) and 16 (Sicily) for familiar sibling vs. unfamiliar non-kin and 16 (Greece) and 15 (Sicily) for unfamiliar sibling vs. unfamiliar non-kin.
