Differential allocation in a gift-giving spider: males adjust their reproductive investment in response to female condition

Table 3 Summary of the statistical models used to evaluate the potential benefits provided by females in POOR and GOOD condition

Predictors	Estimate	SE	z- or t-value	p-value

For the model of Latency to oviposition, we report the estimate in log units and present the original units in parentheses. Moreover, the model of Latency to oviposition uses a z-value instead of a t-value as in the other models. For the model of Total number of eggs, we present the results of the two best fitted models (ΔAIC_c < 2): model (1) includes the additive effect of the experimental groups and number of flies added to the gift, and model (2) includes only the effect of the experimental groups. Significant results are highlighted in bold. SE = standard error
