Dynamics of odour learning in leptoilina boulardi, a hymenopterous parasitoid
Article Abstract:
Odour learning in host location by a parasitoid insect, Leptopilina boulardi (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) is investigated. It is concluded that the probing behavior of a Drosophila parasitoid is characterized by great plasticity shaped in the short term by sensitization, and in the longer term by associative learning.

An operating cost of learning in Drosophila melanogaster
Article Abstract:
Five lines of Drosophila melanogaster is used to test the hypothesis that learning has an operating cost. Potential proximate explanations include the impairment of oviposition decisions caused by the accumulation of memory interference and energy costs of collecting, processing and storing information.
