Fig. 4. Prey consumption in the choice test involving progeny of irradiated males. Number of T. absoluta eggs from following T. absoluta eggs crosses, ♀U × ƋU and ♀U × ƋI,consumed per T. cucurbitaceus (mean ± SE) individual in 24 h. The same letter above the 2 error bars indicates that there was no significant difference in the numbers of eggs consumed based on the crosses from which they had originated, even though the male parent had been irradiated in 1 of the crosses (paired t tests, P> 0.05). U = untreated, I = irradiated.
