Figure 1. Tetracycline treatment alters female attractiveness independent of Wolbachia infection.
Antibiotic-treated female flies competed with untreated females of the same DGRP line for matings with Canton-S males. The proportion of tetracycline-treated (T, panel A) versus untreated or treated-and-crossed (TC, panel B) versus untreated females mated is shown. A value of 0.5 represents no effect of the antibiotic treatment and equal matings between treated and untreated females. Error bars show the standard error. DGRP lines are indicated as naturally Wolbachia-infected (filled circles) or uninfected (open circles) in the untreated lines.
