'Foraging' for a place to lay eggs: A genetic link between foraging behaviour and oviposition preferences.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2017

McConnell Murray W, Fitzpatrick Mark J

Abstract excerpt

Gravid female arthropods in search of egg-laying substrates embark on foraging-like forays: they survey the environment assessing multiple patches, tasting each with their tarsi and proboscis, and then, if interested, they deposit an egg (or eggs). In fruit flies, Drosophila melanogaster, allelic variation in the foraging gene (for) underlies the rover/sitter foraging behaviour polymorphism. Rover flies (forR)...
