Figure 6

Based on the DMR test, 4 and 3 clusters are constructed in thehierarchical form from the lowest to the highest longevity for unmated male flies (Fig. 6a) and virgin female flies (Fig. 6b.) respectively. Similarly, 6 and 7 clusters are constructed for mated male flies (Fig. 6c) and mated female flies (Fig. 6d) respectively. The members belonging to each cluster have insignificant differences. In mated males (Fig. 6c), cluster 1(N) is formed as independent cluster, while in mated females (Fig. 6d), cluster 7 (C8) is formed as independent cluster. Virgin flies of the Cytoraces lived longer than mated Cytoraces and parental races (Fig. 6e).
