❗️New paper alert❗️
We did a huge evolution experiment to study the effect of high fat and high sugar diet in housefly.

For a while now, @lauradee.bsky.social and I have been working on a guide to introduce Ecologists to causal inference tools for observational data that has problematic unobserved confounding variables lurking in the background. And now it's up as a preprint!
