Odor-gated oviposition behavior in an ecological specialist

R. Alvarez-Ocana, M. P. Shahandeh, V. Ray, T. O. Auer, N. Gompel, R. Benton

This study identifies hexanoic acid and its receptor Ir75b as critical for odor-gated oviposition behavior in Drosophila sechellia, revealing evolutionary changes in olfactory tuning during host specialization.
