The paper shows that social experience in Drosophila influences aggression strategies, increasing tussling behavior and improving reproductive success.

The paper identifies molecular mechanisms in Drosophila that govern sex-specific prioritization of innate behaviors through pC1 neurons and their co-transmitters.

The paper shows that fruM is critical during development for building a sex circuitry with reduced flexibility and enhanced efficiency, but its function in adulthood is minimal.
