Correlation matrix for male age at emergence (age), male wing length (wing), proportion of ovipositing females (trait 1), proportion of ovipositing females that produced larvae (trait 2), proportion of females that produced larvae (trait 3), eggs per female (trait 4), larvae produced per ovipositing female (trait 5) and larvae produced per female (trait 6). Pearson's r correlations and the associated p-values are given above and below the diagonal, respectively. The bold type indicates statistical significance.
