Exposure to an extremely low-frequency 50 Hz magnetic field weakened oviposition in Drosophila melanogaster across generations.
Plain English Summary
Summary written for general audiences
The study aimed to determine the effects of an extremely low-frequency 50 Hz magnetic field on oviposition and development in Drosophila melanogaster. Exposure of parental females and all F1 developmental stages to the field weakened oviposition in subsequent generations.
