Omnivorous feeding habits of D.virilis, D.hydei and D. simulans. (a,b) The cumulative survival rates of the D.virilis (a) and D. hydei (b) maintained on FAOs. (c) The carcasses of D. melanogaster were pierced by 15 well-fed D. simulans larvae within 36 hours. (d) The cumulative number of emerged adults in the cornmeal medium (CK) and cornmeal-FAO diets. The animal diet patches (0.8 g per patch) were placed on the cornmeal media. The cornmeal-FAO diets boosted the female fertility of D. simulans.
