New paper showing genetic variation in male mate choice!

1/10/2025

 
Our new paper, coauthored by lab alums Grace Freed ('23), Isabella Martinez ('24), Avigayil Lev ('22 and current lab technician), and Ana-Maria Anthony Cuadrado ('20), has been published today in Ecology and Evolution! In this paper, we use hemiclonal analysis to document additive genetic variation in both pre-copulatory and post-copulatory components of male mate choice for large females! This project was a massive undertaking in which we measured male mate choice for over 1300 fruit flies in total! 
Check out Barnard's coverage of this work here.

Physically separated, scientifically connected

4/24/2020

 
COVID-19 might have moved us all off campus and moved our flies into my garage, but the Pischedda Lab is still meeting for semi-regular lab meetings! This week's agenda: watching Abby and Ana-Maria practice a run-through of their poster presentations for the upcoming Biology Symposium, and getting an updated lab photo (even if it needed to be via Zoom!)
