Quantification of phonotactic responses to acoustic stimulation (coarse)
| Genotype | dsxF+/+ XX | dsxF+/− XX | dsxF−/− XX | dsxF+/+ XY | dsxF+/− XY | dsxF−/− XY |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sample size | 3 cages of 25 | 2 cages of 25 | 3 cages of 25 | 3 cages of 25 | 3 cages of 25 | 3 cages of 25 |
| Proportion of responders to control | 0.02 (0.02) | 0.1 (0) | 0 (0) | 0 (0) | 0 (0) | 0 (0.01) |
| Proportion of responders to 100 Hz | 0 (0.03) | 0.09 (0.01) | 0 (0.01) | 0.1 (0.03)* | 0.15 (0.03)* | 0.1 (0.08)* |
| Proportion of responders to 400 Hz | 0.05 (0.02) | 0.11 (0.04) | 0 (0) | 0.69 (0.18) | 0.85 (0.07) | 0.55 (0.17) |
| Proportion of responders to 700 Hz | 0.05 (0.03) | 0.09 (0.04) | 0 (0.02) | 0 (0.01)* | 0 (0)* | 0.05 (0.02)* |
Note: Median values of the number of responders to coarse phonotactic stimulation for dsxF+/+, dsxF+/− and dsxF−/− XX and XY mosquitoes, with SEM values provided in brackets. Significant differences found within a genotype between the response to 400 Hz and 100/700 Hz stimulation are starred (ANOVA: F(2,24) = 55.537, P < 0.0001)
