<b>The sex-specific nutritional requirements of mating in insects with contrasting mating systems</b>

We test how mating affects total macronutrient intake and the ratio of protein to carbohydrate that males and females consume when given dietary choice. We study three insect species (Australian field crickets – <i>Teleogryllus commodus</i>; decorated crickets – <i>Gryllodes sigillatus;</i> cockroaches – <i>Nauphoeta cinerea</i>). The data associated with each species is presented here in a distinct worksheet. Diet pairs, as well as how vector length (VL) and angle are calculated, are all described in the associated manuscript. If anything is unclear, please do get in touch - rutharcher0 - at - gmail.com.
