Coordination of legs during straight walking and turning in Drosophila melanogaster.

Journal of comparative physiology. A, Sensory, neural, and behavioral physiology - 1 Aug 1990

Strauss R, Heisenberg M

Abstract excerpt

Leg coordination of Drosophila melanogaster was studied using frame-by-frame film analysis. 1. For fastest walking alternating tripod coordination is observed which slightly deviates towards tetrapody as a function of step period. During acceleration or deceleration legs may transiently recover in diagonal pairs. 2. Mean step length increases with step frequency. 3. Mean recovery stroke duration increases with...
