Figure 2

Evolution of early life relative reproductive investment. Bars represent the average individual relative reproductive investment in fecundity (A) or fertility (B) until day 4, calculated as the number of embryo or adult progeny over the total lifetime number of embryo or adult progeny, respectively, from Figure 1. The three treatment groups are shown: selfed and outcrossed hermaphrodites, outcrossed females. Error bars denote one standard mean error among the three blocks done. Significant evolutionary responses are indicated with: **p ≤ 0.01; ***; p ≤ 0.001.
