Science 2018 purports to show that female flies can remember the ratio of previous green to pink males that they’ve seen mate, and that they use this information to select their own mate. This would be evidence of cultural transmission in Drosophila. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/540cccede4b0d0f549886194/1571610454263-NHF3CRFBXMDTEVF8WERL/Fig1%2Binverted%2Bblack%2Bbackground.jpg Chance and Experiments Figure 1 from Thornquist and Crickmore Science 2019. The plot on the left shows the expected distributions of p-values for hypothesis-confirming experiments in white, compared to the actual p-values of Danchin et al. in pink. The pink values are much closer to 0.05 (blue dashed line) than you would expect, which could indicate that just-good-enough trials were selected for. The panel on the right shows the expected distribution of p-values when comparing effects across experiments (e.g. the green bars in their Figure 5). Here you would expect a uniform distribution of p-values, since you are effectively drawing from the same population. Instead, the actual values in pink are highly skewed toward 1, indicative of extreme consistency across experiments and pointing to some factor other than the female simply choosing pink vs. green males. http://www.crickmorelab.org/interval-timing daily 0.75 2021-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/540cccede4b0d0f549886194/1574886999697-1RAZNPKPYQ2WSEIZAV2G/Thornquist+Neuron+2020.jpg Interval Timing http://www.crickmorelab.org/discoveries daily 0.75 2026-03-27 http://www.crickmorelab.org/the-eruption daily 0.75 2021-06-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/540cccede4b0d0f549886194/1610725277199-E5GJM2P922TVUBGYQHJI/Capture.PNG The Eruption http://www.crickmorelab.org/delaying-a-drive daily 0.75 2021-07-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/540cccede4b0d0f549886194/1624215296550-MN9Q5AXYFZT1JYLPKZ7I/Mating+drive+increase+in+juvenile+drosophila.PNG Awakening a Latent Drive - Make it stand out Juvenile flies show no courtship behavior.
