Percentage of recovery at t =0. Kruskal-Wallis tests comparing each treatment were non-significant for females [χ (5)2 = 6.45, p = 0.17] and males [χ (5)2 = 7.66, p = 0.1]. The result of Dunn's post hoc test comparing each treatment against the control for each sex is included in the p column of the table. The n (# flies) column shows the number of replicates (n) and flies tested for each treatment.

Mean recovery time. Kruskal-Wallis test comparing each treatment showed a significant effect for females [χ (5)2 = 23.98, p < 0.0001] but not for males [χ (5)2 = 4.34, p = 0.36]. The result of Dunn's post hoc test comparing each treatment against the control for each sex is included in the p column of the table. The number of flies seizuring at t = 0 is shown in column n.
