Description:Adaptive evolution can shape suites of behavioral traits to a r
 emarkable extent\, such that different individuals adopt distinct behavior
 al strategies to facilitate survival and reproduction.  The resulting str
 ategies must balance trade-offs in time\, for animals cannot engage in two
  separate behaviors simultaneously. Work in the Hoke lab asks to what exte
 nt those strategies also reflect mechanistic constraints because they depe
 nd on overlapping neural circuitry and shared molecular mechanisms. We rel
 ate behavioral diversity in guppies to brain gene expression to ask how mo
 dularity\, homeostasis\, and flexibility shape the way gene networks regul
 ate behavior and hence the patterns of adaptive plasticity and evolution.
