The effect of mating on immune defense after mating in D. suzukii. Survival over time of mated females was significantly lower than that of virgin controls when infected with P. rettgeri. Mortality was recorded each day for six days after infection, and survival curves were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method. Control flies had negligible mortality over the course of the experiment regardless of mating treatment. ***p < 0.001
