However, this variability can be largely explained by taking into account the dynamic sensory experience of the male in addition to his own fluctuating internal state.
By analyzing song and fly movements over large datasets, we found that rather than being a fixed action sequence, fly songs are variable. Our work has demonstrated that flies are also an ideal model for studies of communication. Fruit flies (genus Drosophila) also produce and process patterned sounds during social interactions. Flies are a popular model system for neuroscience because their nervous system is simple, and the field has concertedly generated a wealth of genetic and neural circuit tools to interrogate it. Key among the signals used for communication is sound – consider dogs barking, cats meowing, birds singing, or crickets chirping.
