Blowfly flight characteristics are shaped by environmental features and controlled by optic flow information.
Blowfly flight consists of two main components, saccadic turns and intervals of mostly straight gaze direction, although, as a consequence of inertia, flight trajectories usually change direction smoothly. We investigated how flight behavior changes depending on the surroundings and how saccadic turns and intersaccadic translational movements might be controlled in arenas of different width wit...
متن کاملThe aerodynamics of free-flight maneuvers in Drosophila.
Using three-dimensional infrared high-speed video, we captured the wing and body kinematics of free-flying fruit flies as they performed rapid flight maneuvers. We then "replayed" the wing kinematics on a dynamically scaled robotic model to measure the aerodynamic forces produced by the wings. The results show that a fly generates rapid turns with surprisingly subtle modifications in wing motio...
متن کاملVisual stimulation of saccades in magnetically tethered Drosophila.
Flying fruit flies, Drosophila melanogaster, perform ;body saccades', in which they change heading by about 90 degrees in roughly 70 ms. In free flight, visual expansion can evoke saccades, and saccade-like turns are triggered by similar stimuli in tethered flies. However, because the fictive turns in rigidly tethered flies follow a much longer time course, the extent to which these two behavio...
متن کاملForaging Fruit Flies: Lagrangian and Eulerian Descriptions of Insect Swarming
In this work, I seek to model swarms of fruit flies, drosophila melanogaster, whose flights are characterized by straight flight segments interrupted by rapid turns called saccades. These flights are reminiscent of Levy-distributed randomwalks which are known to lead to efficient search behavior. I build two types of model for swarms of foraging fruit flies, whose behavior depends on swarm dens...
متن کاملThe Organization of Gaze Control in the Blowfly Calliphora erythrocephala
Flies have a distinct body posture during walking and flight. Hence head and eyes have mostly a preferred alignment with the surroundings. Voluntary and involuntary changes of body orientation elicit compensatory head turns which stabilize the original, correct orientation of the eyes relative to the surroundings. Compensatory head turns are elicited by several sensory cues which simultaneously...
