Journal ArticleDOI
Yeast, not fruit volatiles mediate Drosophila melanogaster attraction, oviposition and development

TL;DR: It is shown that baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae on its own is sufficient for fruit fly attraction, oviposition and larval development, and the traditional plantherbivore niche concept needs to be updated, to accommodate for the role of micro-organisms in insectplant interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical signaling and insect attraction is a conserved trait in yeasts

TL;DR: Co‐occurrence of the same attractant signals in yeast and flowers suggests that yeast‐insect communication may have contributed to the evolution of insect‐mediated pollination in flowers and that insect–yeast communication evolved prior to the emergence of flowering plants.
