Lifespan and reproduction in Drosophila: New insights from nutritional geometry (2008, methodology): “Liquid diets were provided in 5- l glass capillaries (19, 21) and food intake and egg production were measured over 3-day intervals until death (see Materials and Methods).”
Human Disease Models in Drosophila melanogaster and the Role of the Fly in Therapeutic Drug Discovery (2011, background): “To determine whether the presence of a drug influences food intake, there are simple feeding assays that can be performed (Ja et al., 2007).”
A conserved dedicated olfactory circuit for detecting harmful microbes in Drosophila. (2012, positive): “We next examined feeding preference by using a capillary feeder assay (Figure 6G) (Ja et al., 2007); here, flies could choose between two 5% sucrose solutions, one of which was based on a wash from WT S. coelicolor colonies.”
Limited taste discrimination in Drosophila (2010, methodology): “As a more sensitive evaluation of relative preferences, we carried out a two-choice drinking assay, which has the advantage of allowing a direct comparison of the ingestion of two taste solutions presented simultaneously (16).”
Modelling learning and memory in Drosophila to understand Intellectual Disabilities. (2020, neutral): “Drosophila exhibits a wide range of complex and sophisticated behaviors such as circadian rhythms, sleep, learning and memory, the ability to adapt to experience and social behaviors including courtship, feeding and aggression (Konopka and Benzer, 1971; Quinn et al., 1974; Hotta and Benzer, 1976; Tu”
FOXO/4E-BP Signaling in Drosophila Muscles Regulates Organism-wide Proteostasis During Aging (2010, methodology): “We first monitored the amount of liquid food ingested using the CAFÉ assay (capillary feeding) (Ja et al., 2007).”
