Oviposition preferences for ethanol depend on spatial arrangement and differ dramatically among closely related Drosophila species
Recent work on the model fly Drosophila melanogaster has reported inconsistencies in their preference for laying eggs on intermediate concentrations of ethanol. In this study, we resolve this discrepancy by showing that this species strongly prefers ovipositing on ethanol when it is close to a non-e...
