Table 2 Common garden experiment: high and low prey availability. Results from the generalized lineal models (GLMs) with response variables: worthless gift proportion, gift weight (g), silk wrapping duration (total time that males spend wrapping the gift in min), number of silk wrapping bouts (the sum of the total number of wrappings), latency of gift offering (time in min from when the male finished wrapping the gift until he offered it to female), and female acceptance (occurrence of females grabbing gift) in relation to gift type (nutritive or worthless), population, feeding treatment, and the interaction of both population and feeding treatment. Note that gift type was not included in the model when examining worthless gift proportion and gift weight. Significant p values are shown in bold

From: Stressful environments favor deceptive alternative mating tactics to become dominant
