d03517 insertion did not affect sexual behaviours. a Sexual discrimination assay. Both wild-type and d03517 mutant male flies preferred to show courtship behaviours towards decapitated virgin female flies than decapitated male flies. Number of male flies tested: wt, n = 20; d03517, n = 20. Mann-Whitney U test, **P < 0.01. b-d Male-male courtship behaviours for 15-min period. Wild-type and d03517 mutant male flies showed very similar male-male courtship indices (Mann-Whitney U test, P > 0.05), including one-wing extension frequency (b), circling frequency (c), latency to courtship (d). “ns”, not significant, P > 0.05. Pairs of flies tested: wt, n = 27; d03517, n = 27. Error bars represent SEM
