Virgin females expressing SPRdsRNA.IR2.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu show the same receptivity towards a naive wild-type male as control females. However, these females lay very few eggs after mating, in contrast to control females. If the mutant females are then tested for receptivity towards a second naive male after being allowed to lay eggs for 48 hours, they mate again at a high frequency and do not actively reject the second male, in contrast to control females tested under the same conditions.
