Out now - female fruit flies cluster their eggs together depending on their social environment 🪰🧪 Just wish they'd let us know why... led by @emilyrosech.bsky.social Emily Fowler, Lucy Friend and Tracey Chapman. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Female fruit flies use social cues to make egg-clustering decisions - BMC Biology
Background The ability to respond plastically to environmental variation is a key determinant of fitness. Females may use cues to strategically place their eggs, for example adjusting the number or lo...

New out in Molecular Ecology! In which we show that small males try harder when it comes to seminal fluid proteins. w/ @ju-morimoto.bsky.social @iremsepil.bsky.social @becks-seascience.bsky.social

🎉 Our new paper is out in Evolution!
We show how sexual selection shapes heat tolerance in Drosophila prolongata.
Males evolved under sperm competition suffer more under heat stress.

There are a lot of new people here, so I've set up a starter pack on Mating Systems, including sexual selection and conflict, sex differences and determination. Let me know if you want to be added! go.bsky.app/QXrYoQY
