Fig. 2

Copulatory behaviour of first-to-mate males. Shown is variation in six different aspects of copulatory behaviour of +/t and +/+ males: a mount latency, b the number of copulatory bouts, c average duration of copulatory bouts, d ejaculation latency, e in copula duration at ejaculation, and f post-ejaculation interval. Right-censored data for post-ejaculation interval are indicated with plus symbols (i.e. minimum times for males that were separated from the female before performing post-ejaculatory mounts; see main text). None of the behaviours showed a significant association with male genotype at the t locus (see main text and Additional file 1: Table S1). +/t males are shown in red, +/+ males in grey. Points and error bars depict model predictions and approximate 95 % confidence intervals obtained from full models (LMMs, back-transformed to the original scale where necessary)
