  1. # rep: number of replicates; min: minutes; SE: standard error; N: the number of individuals. Values followed by the same letter did not present any statistically significant differences. Statistical significance in the case of female ratio: * P < 0.05 (corrected critical value after Bonferroni correction = 0.00625)
