Feedbacks changed the speed of phenotypic evolution! In particular, fly boxing exploded under positive feedbacks! 🥊. Negative feedbacks slowed the evolution of total aggression

In 12 parallel populations, we selected Drosophila males for increased aggression across 24 generations. Populations experienced either positive, negative, or no evolutionary feedbacks — achieved by manipulating the social environment in which we performed selection (2/)

Next week! Join us for Marina's PhD defense, where she'll present her work on social information for aggressive behavior in flies. Come for the bidirectional information feedbacks, stay for the genetic variation!

I'm looking for a new PhD student to join my lab! We study the evolution of social dynamics using fruit flies. If you're an interested student with a background in studying behavior from an eco-evo perspective, please get in touch! @culturalevolsoc.bsky.social @asn-amnat.bsky.social
