To this end, we have established novel protocols for examining ultimate and proximate mechanisms underlying social information use in fruit flies, a highly tractable model system for which superb neurogenetic tools are available. My talk will focus on the dynamics of social behaviour in fruit fly larvae during their development from hatching to pupation and the cues that attract larvae to each other. I will also talk about social learning in larvae and adults and discuss the ecological factors that effect social information use in fruit flies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[],"cu_event_audience":[],"class_list":["post-3258","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2013-10-17T15:30:00","cu_event_end_date":"2013-10-17T16:30:00","cu_event_location_type":"in-person","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"on-campus","cu_building":"TT","cu_event_meeting_room":"4440Q","cu_event_meeting_address_full":null,"cu_event_virtual_type":"tbd","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_post_thumbnail":false,"cu_event_cost":"","cu_event_registration":"","cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"Tom Sherratt, Jean-Guy Godin","cu_event_email":"tom.sherratt@carleton.ca, jeanguy.godin@carleton.ca","cu_event_phone":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/3258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/3258\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3270,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/3258\/revisions\/3270"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=3258"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=3258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
