D. melanogaster females housed in groups are less likely to retain virgin eggs. Focal females were kept in ‘isolation’ (blue bars/boxes) or ‘group’ (housed with three Sudan Red-dyed non-focal females, red bars/boxes) treatments, for 3 days. A The proportion of virgin females laying ≥1 egg on days 1, 2 or 3 of social exposure. B Virgin egg counts of laying females (laying ≥ 1 egg on any given day) over 3 days of social exposure. Boxplots as in Fig. 1. Statistical significance values and standard error bars were derived from post hoc testing of models
