Figures & data

Figure 1 Potential factors influencing ethanol preference in flies and its increase over time. Solid lines indicate relationships supported by data; dashed lines indicate speculation. Preference for ethanol is likely influenced by its sensory and pharmacological properties. The increase in preference over time may depend on the development of ethanol tolerance as well as improved discrimination between food types, which could occur by learning or chemical cues deposited by flies.
