The foraging locus: behavioral tests for normal muscle movement in rover and sitter Drosophila melanogaster larvae.

Abstract excerpt

We used Drosophila melanogaster larvae with different alleles at the foraging (for) locus in a variety of behavioral tests to evaluate normal muscle usage of rover and sitter phenotypes. The results show that sitter and lethal sitter alleles of for do not affect larval behavior through a mutation which affects larval muscle usage. In general the behavior of rovers and sitters differed on food but not on...
