The aim of this study was to determine whether exposure for 48 h to extremely low frequency magnetic field – ELF-MF (50 Hz, 0.5 mT) at different developmental stages of Drosophila subobscura (egg-first instar larvae and just eclosed adult) changes locomotor activity recorded for 30 min. Linear regression analysis, performed with values of successive 10-min time intervals, showed significant differences in travelled distance and mobility in flies from all experimental groups. No matter which developmental stage was exposed, ELF-MF decreased locomotor activity of D. subobscura adults.
