The Olfactory Guidance of Flying Insects. IV. Drosophila

Abstract

The upwind guidance of flying insects was considered in a previous paper (Wright, 1958) where a homing mechanism was suggested that did not require visual contact with the ground. The response of Drosophila to attractive scents presented in various ways has now been studied. The results show that visual contact with the ground is in fact essential, and other factors of the guidance system have been clarified.
