Selection on heritable social network positions is context-dependent in Drosophila melanogaster

Selection on heritable social network positions is context-dependent in Drosophila melanogaster

The evolvability of sociality requires that some variation in social groups is heritable. Experiments on fly social groups find that genotypic differences in network position are largely robust to changes in the environment flies experience, while selection on network position varies across environm...
