  1. Linear model (spermathacae filling level ~ sum licking duration + left lobe length + right lobe length + copulation duration + female age + male age), 32 observations were deleted due to missingness: sum licking duration 30 values, left lobe length 1 value), right lobe length 1 value, multiple R2: 0.4975, adjusted R2: 0.4201, F-statistic: 6.434 on 6 and 39 DF, P-value: 8.956e−05
