| Abstract: | The presence of yeast in the diet of virgin Drosophila melanogaster females increases the probability that the females will copulate, although it does not increase their attractiveness. Females raised on yeast move more slowly while being courted by males and elicit a greater number of attempted copulations per minute. |
