D. melanogaster is able to perform osmotropotaxis under open-loop conditions. With an optimal stimulus the average turning tendency to the side of higher concentration corresponds to a circular track with radius r = 0.8 cm. The response amplitude does not decrease within 1 or 2 h. Unilaterally antennectomized flies in an homogenous odor field show a permanent turning tendency towards their intact side. The smallest concentration ratio to elicit osmotropotaxis is normal flies ranges between 6:10 and 9:10 at high and between 2:10 and 5:10 at an .apprx. 50 times lower odor intensity. No negative tropotaxis (i.e., turning to the side of lower concentration) is observed, even with strong repellents.
