From Jerusalem, Dan Johnson reports.
So in terms of their survival, so survival reduces, but it definitely isn't zero.
And those that do survive are much smaller as well.
And they do have fluctuating asymmetry.
So they've got larger differences between their left and the right wings, which indicates some sort of developmental stress.
Then in the locomotion experiment, so what it essentially does is it stops the larvae moving and coordinating their behaviour.
So they essentially don't move really at all.
But the ones that do move are turning in more directions.
And larvae use direction turning to find their food or to avoid a nasty chemical, for example.
So it's obviously having an effect on their behaviour, which we believe could have a detrimental effect on their survival in the wild if they're treated with that drug.
