Effect of subsequent encounter with cognate males on the fecundity of the females retrieved from incompatible crosses.

<p>Females were retrieved from the two incompatible crosses as shown in <a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0002030#pntd-0002030-g002" target="_blank">Figure 2B</a>. TK or WX females were equally divided into two subgroups, with one mixed with cognate males and the other kept alone (no male). After a second blood feeding and oviposition, egg rafts were collected and allowed to hatch. The average hatching rates of these subgroups were compared. Error bars represent standard errors; ns, non-significant <i>P</i>-value.
