Test for the effects of 60-Hz magnetic fields on fecundity and development in Drosophila.
Ramirez et al (1983) reported reduced egg laying by Drosophila melanogaster and reduced survival of those eggs to adulthood when adult flies were exposed to magnetic fields. In a similar study, no effects from exposures of Drosophila to 1-mT, 60-Hz magnetic fields were found.
