Table 3.

The level and duration of fights (median, IQR and n) between losers matched against winners.

Losers vs. winners Fight level median, IQR (n) Fight duration, s median, IQR
No AS Male-AS p-value No AS Male-AS p-value
Vehicle 1, 1–1.75 (20) 5, 2.25–5 (20) <0.001 0, 0–3 5, 3.25–9 <0.001

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.
