The losers received either no antennal stimulation (no AS) or stimulation with a male antennae 5 min before fighting (male-AS). The crickets were treated with either: the DAR-blocker fluphenazine, the OAR-blocker epinastine, the DAR-agonist homovanillyl alcohol or the OAR-agonist chlordimeform, or vehicle (1% DMSO, separate controls for blockers and agonists). The p-values from U-tests comparing groups that received no AS and male-AS are given for each treatment (statistically significant values in bold face). The data are depicted in Figure 6.
