Abstract
When virgin female flies were injected with 1μ of water in the thorax or had the thorax punctured, the number which subsequently mated was significantly reduced. The effect was not immediately apparent, but increased up to 4 to 6 days after treatment and persisted until at least 14 days post‐treatment. Injection of water into the abdomen through the base of the ovipositor did not reduce subsequent mating.ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: DIE WIRKUNG EINER INJEKTION AUF DAS PAARUNGSVERHALTEN DER STUBENFLIEGEWenn jungfräulichen Fliegen 1 μl Wasser in den Thorax injiziert oder ihr Thorax punktiert wurde, so wurde die Zahl derer, die sich später paarten, signifikant reduziert. Dieser Effekt wurde nicht unmittelbar offenbar, sondern wuchs an bis zu 4–6 Tage nach Behandlung und blieb mindestens bis 14 d nach Behandlung erhalten. Injektion mit Wasser ins Abdomen durch die Basis des Ovipositors reduzierte nachfolgende Paarungen nicht.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
