carrot, not the stick: appetitive rather than aversive gustatory stimuli support associative olfactory learning in individually assayed Drosophila larvae by Hendel, T, Michels, B, Neuser, K, Schipanski, A, Kaun, K, Sokolowski, M.B, Marohn, F, Michel, R, Heisenberg, M, Gerber, B

Mutations in the larval foraging gene affect adult locomotory behavior after feeding in Drosophila melanogaster by Pereira, H.S, Sokolowski, M.B

“…Previous studies have shown a correlation between the locomotory component of larval and adult foraging behavior in the fruit fly. Here we show that this…”
