<p>Panel A: Oviposition preference of gravid <i>S</i>. <i>vittatum</i> on a substrates containing or lacking eggs. Values significantly different from the control are denoted by an asterisk [*] (Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test, <i>P</i> = 0.002). Panel B: Orientation response represented the number of flies located after landing on a substrate with eggs or lacking eggs. Values significantly different from the control are denoted by an asterisk [*] (t-test, <i>P</i> < 0.05).</p
