Male and female Drosophila subobscura were exposed either as larvae (group 1, egg-first larval stage, n=45/sex) or as just eclosed adults (group 2, n=75/sex). In addition, a cage control group and a sham exposure group were used for each exposure group. Since no differences were observed between these, they were pooled for analysis in one control group (eggs: n=45/sex, adults: n=75/sex).
exposure system consisted of 3 circular coils (37 cm diameter and set at 23 cm distance from each other) made of insulated copper wire (0.75 mm in diameter); no temperature fluctuation or vibrations were observed
