	Mean accumulative flight duration (min) (mean ± SE)	Mean accumulative flight distance (km) (mean ± SE)	Mean flight speed (m/s) (mean ± SE)	Mean fastest flight speed (m/s) (mean ± SE)
UN	64.51 ± 9.93	1.99 ± 0.31	1.86 ± 0.12	3.40 ± 0.16
IR	34.25 ± 7.67**	0.82 ± 0.18*	1.35 ± 0.07***	2.69 ± 0.17**

Tested at 26°C, no wind and 60% RH for tethered‐flight 4 hr, n > 15. Data were analysed using Student's test. The error bars indicate standard error (SE). (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001).

IR: irradiated flies feeding on conventional diet only; UN: un‐irradiated male flies feeding on conventional diet only.
