“…While Drosophila in the melanogaster subgroup breed in fruit, they derive an array of fitness benefits from consuming yeasts which include influences on sexual receptivity (Gorter et al, ), fecundity and larvae development (Buser et al, ; Rohlfs & Kürschner, ) and other life history traits (Anagnostou, Dorsch, & Rohlfs, ). It is therefore unsurprising that at least D. melanogaster and Drosophila simulans are strongly attracted to certain yeast‐derived volatiles (Becher et al, ; Buser et al, ; Günther, Goddard, Newcomb, & Buser, ; Madden et al, ; Stökl et al, ). Yeasts metabolize fruit precursors to produce energy and biomass, but also release a range of yeast volatile organic compounds (YVOCs) as they do so (Cordente, Curtin, Varela, & Pretorius, ; Hazelwood, Daran, Maris, Pronk, & Dickinson, ).…”
