F2-a
Males whose spicules remain permanently protracted.
F2-b
Number of males assayed.
F2-c
Ablations remove PGA, PDC, PVY, PVV, PVZ, HOA, HOB, and associated structural cells.
F2-d
l/r refers to left and right cell. Ablations remove EF(1/2, 3/4) and DX(1/2, 3/4); males have crumpled spicules that still protract.
F2-e
χ2 test compared with nonoperated sy557.
