Variation in rates of spontaneous male production within the nematode species Pristionchus pacificus supports an adaptive role for males and outcrossing

Table 3 Post-hoc Tukey's test results showing significant effects of a. sampling locality and temperature treatment, and b. sampling locality climate group and temperature, on the percentage of males produced
