Fig 6. Food preference of D. melanogaster larvae of three strains in dual-choice tests combining two types of larval-processed food.

Fig 6

The food preference of third instar larvae of two wild-type strains (Di2, Cs; two left columns) and the desat1 mutant line (Desat; right column) was tested to a dual-food choice combining two types of larval processed foods (PF was not used here). The top series of box plots represent the dual-food choice combining the food processed by Di2 (DiLF) with the food processed by Cs larvae (CsLF); the bottom series combines DiLF with the food processed by Desat larvae (DsLF). For parameters and statistics, please refer to Fig 2. The statistical difference for distribution between the two food patches was only significant for Di2 larvae tested in the “DiLF/DsLF” choice: (*: p<0.05). All other tests showed no difference (ns: p>0.05). N = 18–20 groups.
