It enables flying honeybees to keep a safe speed while crossing complex foraging environments, where dorsally located objects abound and have to be sensed just as much as ventrally or laterally located objects.
The edge-tracking strategy may enable flies to keep tabs on possible landing spots.
Eclosion requires peristaltic movement of the abdominal muscles to enable flies to escape from the pupal case [27].
The purpose of the more frequently occurring 'spontaneous' saccades has hitherto been unknown but could form a systematic searching strategy to enable flies to localize the source of attractive odors emanating from fallen fruit.
These results indicate that PNs enable flies to reliably respond to onsets of slowly rising odorant gradients.
Our results demonstrate that Est-6 enables flies to detect and respond to the temporal dynamics of cVA stimulation.
Building on this work, Aso et al. have started to work out how this circuitry enables flies to learn to associate a stimulus, such as an odor, with an outcome, such as the presence of food.
The focus of this effort is to enable formation flying for a group of solar sails that maintain a nominally fixed Sun-pointing attitude during formation flight, solely for the purpose of precessing their orbit apse lines Sun-synchronously.
The present sequence-based study provided a comprehensive method to reconstruct the primary metabolic profile of the cecal microbiota which enables the flying squirrel to survive on a leaf-based diet.
