Table 1 Survival of adult females (a) and males (b) of Tenebrio molitor according to sex-ratio condition (Sex-ratio). The “simple” contrast was used for Sex-ratio (survival of males in the 50% of male condition was used as baseline). For females (a), a time-dependent procedure was used to account for the time-dependent effect of Sex-ratio on the risk of mortality (T × Sex-ratio). This procedure was not necessary for males as the effect of Sex-ratio on the risk of mortality was constant over time (b)
