Data for: On the expression of reproductive plasticity in Drosophila melanogaster females in spatial and socially varying environments

In this study, we examined the extent of reproductive plasticity expressed in mating rates, mating latencies, mating durations, and offspring production in female fruit flies, Drosophila melanogaster, that encountered different numbers of males in different sized chambers. This .csv dataset contains data collected from vials of flies, Drosophila melanogaster in which a single female fly was placed into a vial with either 1 or 2 males, in which the size of the chamber was small or large, and watched closely for 90 minutes. The occurrence of mating, the time at which mating started (measured in seconds), the duration of mating (measured in seconds) was recorded. The flies were left undisturbed in the vials overnight before being discarded, and the number of offspring that eclosed from those vials was recorded.

本研究针对在不同尺寸饲养容器中接触不同数量雄蝇的雌性黑腹果蝇（Drosophila melanogaster），考察其在交配率、交配潜伏期、交配时长以及子代产出方面所表现出的生殖可塑性程度。本.csv格式数据集包含从黑腹果蝇饲养管中收集的实验数据：实验中将单只雌性黑腹果蝇与1只或2只雄蝇共同置于小尺寸或大尺寸饲养容器中，并进行90分钟的密切观察。记录内容包括交配发生情况、交配起始时间（单位：秒）以及交配持续时长（单位：秒）。实验结束后，将果蝇留在饲养管中过夜，随后弃去成蝇，统计从各饲养管中羽化出的子代果蝇数量。
