An Orco dependent pathway suppresses egg-laying attraction to ripe fruit volatile compounds in Drosophila melanogaster but not in D. suzukii
Taken together, our results suggest that D. melanogaster has evolved an as-yet unidentified mechanism for integrating olfactory signals that suppresses attraction to unsuitable oviposition substrates when multiple key volatile are detected simultaneously.
