Wing Morphometry and Acoustic Signals in Sterile and Wild Males: Implications for Mating Success in Ceratitis capitata

Figure 6

Box plots of minimum, maximum, and medium pulse duration (a), pulse interval (b) and dominant frequency (c) of C. capitata buzz signals of males. Boxes indicate percentages (25–75%), horizontal line in the box indicates median value, and horizontal lines out the box indicate minimum and maximum values at distances ≤1.5x from distance between percentiles. Male groups labeled with the same letter did not differ statistically (MLM and test, ). Wild = wild population, sterile = insects irradiated, and sterile + GRO = insects irradiated in pulpal stage and treated with GRO by aromatherapy.
