Abstract excerpt
Pupation site choice of Drosophila third-instar larvae is critical for the survival of individuals, as pupae are exposed to various biotic and abiotic dangers while immobilized during the 3-4 days of metamorphosis. This singular behavioural choice is sensitive to both environmental and genetic factors. Here, we developed a high-throughput phenotyping approach to assay the variation in pupation height in...
