Coevolving parasites and population size shape the evolution of mating behaviour

Table 1 GLMMs results for the proportion of successful matings and the total number of times mounting was scored per assay

Sex	Trait	Distribution	Link function		Treatment	Size	Treatment × size
males	mated Y/N	Binary	Logit	F(1,258)	0.02	0.01	4.32
				P value	0.8886	0.9113	0.0386
	total mounts	Neg Binomial	Log	F(1,258)	7.38	1.85	12.17
				P value	0.007	0.1753	0.0006
females	mated Y/N	Binary	Logit	F(1,275)	1.03	0.01	0.01

Treatment refers to whether populations coevolved with N. whitei or not, and size refers to population size (i.e. small vs. large population size). The analysis was performed separately for males and females. Only fixed effects are shown; the random factor 'experimental population' never had a significant effect. Significant P-values are highlighted in bold.
