Influence of γ‐irradiation on male flies’ fitness. (a) Mating competition test. Irradiated male flies competed with un‐irradiated male flies mating for virgin females flies (n = 6). (b) Survival rate. Survival curves of B. dorsalis by log‐rank analysis (individual = 75). (c) The scatter diagram of the adult longevity. IR: irradiated male flies; UN: un‐irradiated male flies. Data were analysed using Student's test (a and c) and Gehan–Breslow–Wilcoxon test (b). The error bars indicate standard error (SE). (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001)
