Figure 2

(a) Schematic of the apparatus used for the playback experiment. (b) B6 (n = 6) and BALB (n = 10) females in diestrus exposed to male-soiled bedding before testing showed longer-duration search times for other strains' songs. (c) Duration of time searching during diestrus in B6 (n = 5) and BALB (n = 7) females in the absence of male odor before testing. (d) B6 (n = 11) and BALB (n = 13) females in diestrus exposed to male pheromone ESP1 before testing showed longer duration search times for other strains' songs. Values represent means+standard error. Asterisks indicate significant differences p<0.05.
