Excellent postLight uploaded by Timothy Schwanitz!

He revisits work @enriberti.bsky.social & team revealing how taste circuits in Drosophila sechellia can evolve to make bitter better; originally posted as preprint, now published in @nature.com

Image shows part of a preLights post highlighting a preprint titled ‘Evolution of taste processing shifts dietary preference’. In a dark-grey box, you see a summary written by T. W. Schwanitz: “Flies learning to like 'vomit fruit': an example of bitter going from 'yuck' to 'yum'. New research in Drosophila sechellia reveals how taste circuits can evolve to make bitter better”. In a blue box below, you see the postLight Timothy recently added comparing the preprint with the published paper now published in Nature.
