Females of a gift-giving spider do not trade sex for food gifts: a consequence of male deception?

Table 3 GLMM comparing fitness effects among groups (well-fed females receiving fly gifts (Well fed-Nutritive gift), well-fed females receiving worthless gifts (Well fed-Worthless gift) and poorly fed females receiving fly gifts (Poorly fed-Nutritive gift))

FITNESS EFFECTS	N	Fixed effects	Random effects-Female ID
FITNESS EFFECTS	N	Group	Intercept Std Dev
Latency of oviposition (days)	64	X ² _Wald = 11.45, p = 0.003	-
Fecundity	55	X ² _Wald = 10.43, p = 0.005	0.56
No. spiderlings	53	X ² _Wald = 0.92, p = 0.63	1.62
Hatching success	53	X ² _Wald = 0.03, p = 0.98	11.33

In all models, Group was considered as fixed effects and female ID (N = 64) as random effects. Significant p-values are shown in bold
