Automated scoring of nematode nictation on a textured background

Abstract excerpt
Entomopathogenic nematodes, including Steinernema spp., play an increasingly important role as biological alternatives to chemical pesticides. The infective juveniles of these worms use nictation – a behavior in which animals stand on their tails – as a host-seeking strategy.
