Female-driven mechanisms, ejaculate size and quality contribute to the lower fertility of sex-ratio distorter males in Drosophila simulans

Table 1 Percentage and duration of mating.

Crossing	Percentage of mating (%)	Mating duration (min ± SE)	N
First mating
SR	90.00	27.35 ± 0.23	198
ST	84.55	26.33 ± 0.25	186
Second mating (first male/second male)
SR/ST	82.81	27.46 ± 1.01	53
ST/SR	42.40	30.33 ± 1.25	18
SR/SR	60.00	29.48 ± 2.36	18
ST/ST	32.56	29.08 ± 4.15	14

First mating corresponds to the single mating experiments and to the first mating of the double mating experiments. Second mating corresponds to the second mating of the double mating experiments and values are those of the second male. N = number of mating.
