Figure 3, oviposition maintenance

Number of eggs laid over 5-day forced co-habitation assays by flies in vials without wasps (ctrl), with L. boulardi (Lb17), and with L. heterotoma (Lh14), where each row represents a vial. For each day (#1-5), f# is the number of female flies alive at the beginning of the day, e# is the number of eggs laid by the end of the day, and c# is the cumulative number of eggs laid per female, i.e. c1 = e1/f1, c2 = c1 + e2/f2, c3 = c2 + e3/f3, etc. Sets of replicates for each fly species are arranged by date; control and wasp vials were run simultaneously in approximately equal numbers and multiple groups were run if <5 vials per treatment. day5_dOR = (c5 for each Lb17 or Lh14 replicate) / (mean c5 across control vials run for the same fly species at the same time). Oviposition maintenance indices in Fig. 3 are mean day5_dOR across all Lb17 or Lh14 replicates for each fly species.
