Percentage of eggs and attacks that males received in experiments 1 and 3.

<p>Dots connected through lines indicate male pairs used in experiments. Data points in dark shaded squares were coded as 1 (the male with more egg-spots received more than 50% of the eggs of a clutch laid by a female or more than 50% of attacks of the focal male), data points in light shaded squares were coded as 0 (the male with more egg-spots received 50% or less of the eggs of a clutch laid by a female or 50% or less of the attacks of the focal male) for further analyses with generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs). (A) In experiment 1.1, females showed no preference for males with many or fewer egg-spots. (B) In experiment 1.2, females tended to prefer males without egg-spots over males with egg-spots. (C) In experiment 3, focal males attacked stimulus males without egg-spots at a higher rate compared to stimulus males with egg-spots.
