Males choose a diet that makes up for deficiencies; when protein is low during development, males increase protein consumption despite this being detrimental to starvation resistance. The sexual dimorphism in foraging choice could be due to the different energetic requirements of males and females. To investigate the effect of developmental diet on lifespan once an adult nutritional environment had been established, we also conducted a no choice experiment. Here adult lifespan increased as P:C ratio decreased irrespective of developmental diet, thus demonstrating a ‘cancelling out’ effect of nutritional environment experienced during early life stages. Our study provides novel insights into how developmental diet is linked to adult diet by presenting evidence for sexual dimorphism in foraging choice as well as life stage dependency of diet on lifespan.</jats:p> Linking developmental diet to adult foraging choice in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> Journal of Experimental Biology
