Changes in the cellular makeup of motor patterning circuits drive courtship song evolution in Drosophila

How evolutionary changes in genes and neurons encode species variation in complex motor behaviors is largely unknown. Here, we develop genetic tools that permit a neural circuit comparison between the model species Drosophila melanogaster and the closely related species D. yakuba, which has undergon...
