Sample size (N), Mean and Standard Error of the Mean for single and multiple mating treatments at F0, F1 and F2, for each component of fitness.

The greater fecundity in the multiple mating treatment was driven by the over-production of viable sons (> 87%).

At three months old, F0 females and F0 males were haphazardly allocated to either a single or a multiple mating treatment.

F0 males allocated to the multiple mating treatment were not rotated among different replicates (i.e., each group of four males was only used in one replicate).
