Fig. 2

Mount latency (A; ML) and intromission latency (B; IL) in spiny mice paired at different stages of the menstrual cycle. ML and IL are similar between early follicular, late follicular and early luteal phases. Intromission events were seen in 3/5 pairs during the early follicular and early luteal phases, and in 5/5 pairs during the late follicular phase. All data are mean ± SD, significance set at p < 0.05 and * reflect outliers within cycle stages. ANOVA for ML: F3,12 = 0.6485, P = 0.5402. ANOVA for IL: F2,8 = 0.3259, P = 0.7310
