Assay 1: Effect of the physical environment on male sexual behavior

This file contains data from Assay #1 – Effect of the physical environment on male sexual behavior. Each row is the data from a 1 minute observation of a single female. The columns indicate the mating arena in which the female was held (cage vs. vial), the replicate number (10 replicates of each arena were performed), the colour with which the female was dusted (red vs. green), and the Day (1-3) and Time (morning, noon, afternoon) of the observation. FlyOnFood indicates whether the female fed on live yeast at any point during the observation (1 = yes, 0 = no), Number_interactions is the total number of sexual activities directed toward the female by males where sexual activity included courtship (i.e. singing, chasing) and attempted copulation (actual copulations were rare and observations in which this occurred were excluded, as indicated by the blank cells). Interaction_duration is the total duration of all sexual encounters involving the female during the 1 minute observation (including actual copulations).
