Sample size: 10 publication

Author Information

Author(s): Deans Carrie, Hutchison William D.

Conclusion

The correction clarifies errors in the figures and statistics related to the effects of insecticides on Drosophila survivorship.

Supporting Evidence

  • Female survivorship was 1.4 times higher than that of male flies.
  • The corrected R2 value for zeta-cypermethrin is 0.842.

Takeaway

This study fixes some mistakes about how insecticides affect fruit flies, showing that female flies live longer than males.

Methodology

The study involved dose-response probit analysis for each insecticide.
