Mean ± SE is shown for larval weight gain and percentage for the cafeteria choice-experiment. In the cafeteria experiment, the 1st choices as well as choices after 0.5 h, 1 h, and 2 h after the start of the experiment are shown. The number of independent replications is indicated by n.

*The results from binomial tests are shown for the time point, in which highest difference in choices between WT and TR were found. For the other time points P > 0.05.
