a Single-fly oviposition assays of the indicated strains testing different odors and concentrations in an instant medium substrate. Oviposition preference index. Statistically-significant differences from 0 (no preference) are indicated: ***P < 0.001; **P < 0.01; *P < 0.05; NS P > 0.05 (Wilcoxon test with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons); N = 30–60 flies across 1-2 technical replicates. For Dsec 07 assays with 2-heptanone (indicated with a white rectangle), the low number of flies laying eggs prevented calculation of a preference index. b Egg-laying rate of the assays in a. Statistical comparisons of the effect of odors on egg-laying rate were performed across strains: ***P < 0.001; **P < 0.01; *P < 0.05; NS P > 0.05 (Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test with Nemenyi post-hoc test). Exact P values for the statistical comparisons are provided in the Source Data files.
