“…Regarding drosophilid species, a preference for ovipositing in a given resource between several available is influenced by internal metabolic states and the type of food ingested (Jaenike, 1983; Sheeba et al, 1998), by genetic composition (Dahlgaard et al, 2001; Markow & O’Grady, 2008; Miller et al, 2011; Betti et al, 2014; Soto et al, 2015), as well as by external biotic and abiotic factors, including temperature, humidity, predators, competitors, and nutritional status of the host (Hougouto et al, 1982; Worthen, 1989; Markow & O’Grady, 2008; Miller et al, 2011; Soto et al, 2011, 2012; Kacsoh et al, 2015; Matavelli et al, 2015; Hamby et al, 2016; Karageorgi et al, 2017; Zerulla et al, 2017; Kidera & Takahashi, 2020; Winkler et al, 2020; Ulmer et al, 2021). Also, as immature stages of drosophilids cannot move large distances between resources (different fruits for instance), it is expected that females’ evaluation and selection of the resources where their progeny will develop is an important factor in relation to fitness (Taylor, 1987; Bernays & Chapman, 1994; Yang et al ., 2008; Soto et al, 2012; Markow, 2019) and invasion success (Atallah et al, 2014; Wang et al, 2015; Shragai et al, 2019; Kienzle et al, 2020).…”
