Effect of injection on mating behaviour of female house flies
1976
ADAMS, T.S. | OLSTAD, G.
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.
