Table I. Experimental Designs for Testing the Effect of Density on
Female Remating Frequency in Drosophila ananassae

for 2 h, the number of remated females in each vial was recorded, and re-
mated females were aspirated out. After 2 h of observation, the females and
males were separated by aspiration. Females were stored in groups of six
per vial and the same density was maintained by adding new once-mated fe-
males. Males were discarded. The procedure was repeated on 6 consecutive
mornings. The flies receiving a particular density treatment on 1 day always
received the same density treatment on following days. Two replicates were
run for wild-type (Bhutan) flies.

mating Experiments at Different Densities in D. ananassae

Number of remated females at
different densities^a

^a Twenty-four pairs were tested in each cross at each of the four densities.

^bVariation between remated and not-remated females nonsignificant (χ² test from
contingency table). Variation between remated and not-remated females: * P <
0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001 (χ² test from contingency table).
