From: Male courtship song drives escape responses that are suppressed for successful mating
70A09-silenced females do not escape when coupled with courtship-impaired males. (a–f) Non courting fruitless mutant males paired with females of each of the genotypes: w-/UAS > STOP > kir2.1; otd nls:FLPo/ + ; + (Parental Control 1), w-; + ; 70A09-GAL4/ + (Parental Control 2) and w-/UAS > STOP > kir2.1; otd-nls:FLPo/ + ; 70A09-GAL4/ + (70A09 silencing). (g–l) Canton-S males intact and with wings removed (wingless) paired with silenced 70A09 females (70A09 silencing). (a and g) Female mean walking speed (4–50 mm/s), (c and i) female pausing and (e and k) number of jumps per minute, during courtship ON periods. (b and h) Female mean walking speed (4–50 mm/s), (d and j) female pausing and (f and l) number of jumps per minute, in different moments of courtship dynamics. Statistical analysis was performed with one-way ANOVA followed by post hoc Tukey’s test (a), paired t-test (b), Kruskal–Wallis test (c and e) and Friedman’s test (h,j and l) followed by post hoc pairwise Dunn’s test with Bonferroni correction, Wilcoxon signed rank test (d and f), unpaired t-test (g) and Mann–Whitney U test (i and k): ns not significant, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001. n values are shown in parentheses.
