In an investigation of fruit fly behavior, an enclosed choice chamber was used to test whether the spatial distribution of flies is affected by the presence of a substance placed at one end of the chamber. To test the flies’ preference for different substances, 50 flies were introduced into the choice chamber. A piece of ripe banana was placed at the end of the chamber on side A and a piece of unripe banana was placed at the end of the chamber on side B (Figure 1). The positions of the flies were observed and recorded at the start of the experiment and after 10 minutes (Table 1).

Serotonin has been shown to be sufficient to trigger the development of the gregarious form of the migratory desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria). What predictions must have been tested to arrive at this conclusion? You should know that you can inject serotonin as well as drugs that disable serotonin directly into nymphal locusts.

Parasites are often microscopic in size but have large negative effects on their hosts. If this is true for the parasites of songbirds, what predictions follow about their effects on male song performance, and how should females respond to the song of infected males as opposed to uninfected individuals (Garamszegi 2005)?
