“…Larval diet composition impacts adult food choice (Davies et al, 2018), and preference of a caloric diet over an equally palatable alternative is only established after several hours (Dus et al, 2011;Stafford et al, 2012). Similarly, a dietary imbalance between palatability and nutritional content is leading to sustained physiological changes much later (Wang et al, 2016(Wang et al, , 2017Musso et al, 2017;Park et al, 2017;May et al, 2019). Apart from few exceptions (Martin, 2004;Meunier et al, 2007), most existing fly locomotion studies either examine short periods at high temporal resolution (Kim and Dickinson, 2017;Murata et al, 2017;Brockmann et al, 2018;Hughson et al, 2018;Landayan et al, 2018), or sample for short recurring time windows to cover longer periods (Green, 1964a(Green, , 1964bConnolly, 1966a; Barwell et al, 2020).…”
