Drosophila flies were presented with 3-octanol (adapted) or parafin oil (sham adapted) for one minute in the upper arm of a T-maze, directly before being tested for their avoidance toward this odor. T
Drosophila C Virus (DCV) is often claimed to be a beneficial virus based on some of the older literature (see references below). However, this data does not actually show that DCV increases host fitne
Individual responses to dietary variation represent a fundamental component of fitness, and nutritional adaptation can occur over just a few generations. Maternal effects can show marked proximate res
