Figure 2

Effect of long-term exposure to a male- or female-biased sex ratio on body condition. Mean proportional change in mass per treatment of individual N. viridescens males and females. Only resident individuals, as opposed to individuals that migrated from enclosures, were used because residents 1) retained the aquatic phenotype and therefore changes in mass are solely due to changes in body condition and 2) are not confounded by differences in the amount of time exposed to the treatments. Means are ± 1 SE. The number of individuals is indicated for each point (total N = 180 male and 117 female newts).
