The study tested whether singing ability influences mating success in Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies). Wild-type females were paired with either wild-type males (that can sing), wingless males (that cannot sing), or held-out males (with wings but cannot sing). Mating behaviors were observed over 10 minutes. Results showed 80% of wild-type male-female pairs successfully mated, while none of the wingless or held-out male pairs mated. A chi-square test rejected the null hypothesis, indicating singing ability does influence mating success in fruit flies. Follow-up experiments could modify the study design to further test the hypothesis or explore related questions.
