Fig. 4: Cohousing with old donors decreased the courtship activity of Canton-S male flies.
From: The deleterious effects of old social partners on Drosophila lifespan and stress resistance
a Canton-S targets were cohoused with old Canton-S donors in a 1:3 ratio for 2 weeks. After the removal of donor flies, the climbing activity of Canton-S targets for both sexes and courtship activity for males were examined. b Percentage of female flies climbing over a 10 mL mark (n = 11 vials for cohousing with old flies and n = 11 vials for cohousing with age-matched flies). c Percentage of male flies climbing over 10 mL mark (n = 8 vials for cohousing with old and n = 7 vials for cohousing with age-matched flies). d Male courtship latency (n = 16 for cohousing with old flies and n = 15 for cohousing with age-matched flies). e Male courtship duration (n = 16 for cohousing with old flies and n = 15 for cohousing with age-matched flies). Climbing activity were tested with Student’s t test. Courtship activity was tested with the Mann–Whitney U test. Mean ± SEM.
