Mean fecundity estimated from a linear model of fecundity with two fixed effects: adult age and treatment.

Young Control and SC100-treated flies were tested for fecundity starting at 2 weeks old, whereas older Control and SC100-treated flies were fecundity tested at 4 weeks of adult age. Fecundity value is shown as average eggs per fly over a 2 week test period under optimal conditions.*The 2–4 week SC100 Treated flies were not significantly different from Control flies (P = 0.74), whereas the 4–6 week treated flies were significantly more fertile than 4–6 week Control flies (PMean fecundity estimated from a linear model of fecundity with two fixed effects: adult age and treatment.
