  • Tre1-GAL4/Y; UAS-TraF/+ males display an increase in courtship latency when presented with mated females. Statistics were performed with Student’s t-test assuming unequal sample variances. N = 18–23 males per assay. Statistics were performed using Student’s t-test assuming unequal sample variances.
