Effects of extremely low‐frequency magnetic fields on the oviposition of <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> over three generations

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of an extremely low-frequency 50 Hz magnetic field (ELFMF) on the oviposition and development of Drosophila melanogaster. The results show that exposure of D. melanogaster females of generation P and all the development stages of generation F1 to an ELFMF weakened the oviposition of these insects in their subsequent generations.
