Abstract
The growing body of literature on social behavior in fruit flies opens up exciting opportunities for addressing an unresolved issue involving the degree of correlation between behavioral traits in larvae and adults. Although the prevailing adaptive decoupling hypothesis states that metamorphosis is associated with the disruption of genetic correlations between juvenile and adult traits, 2 alternative hypotheses are that, sometimes, a positive correlation may be adaptive, and that, often, the underlying genetic architecture will prevent perfect decoupling. We used lines of the Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel to quantify the degree of sociality in larval and adult fruit flies and then examined the correlation between the life stages. To verify that our social behavior scores did not merely reflect variation in activity levels, we also quantified larval and adult activity. Although we found significant variation in social behavior and activity among larvae and adults, both traits were decoupled between larvae and adults. Social behavior and activity were not positively correlated within each life stage either. Although our results agree with the adaptive decoupling hypothesis, both ultimate and proximate considerations suggest that, generally, we should expect the degree of decoupling to vary between species and traits.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
