Egg-laying demand induces aversion of UV light in Drosophila females.

Current biology : CB - 1 Dec 2014

Zhu Edward Y, Guntur Ananya R, He Ruo, Stern Ulrich, Yang Chung-Hui

Abstract excerpt

Drosophila melanogaster females are highly selective about the chemosensory quality of their egg-laying sites, an important trait that promotes the survival and fitness of their offspring. How egg-laying females respond to UV light is not known, however. UV is a well-documented phototactic cue for adult Drosophila, but it is an aversive cue for larvae. Here, we show that female flies exhibit UV aversion in...
