Flinders University

Caption

Video shows female behavioural response to sideslip optic flow. The video on the left shows a tethered female hoverfly filmed from above, with coloured dots indicating the body parts tracked by DeepLabCut to extract wing beat amplitude (WBA, black-red), head angle (yellow-green), and fore- (blue-cyan) and hind leg (magenta-green) kinematics. The stimulus viewed by the hoverfly is shown on the right, with stimulus velocity indicated above the hoverfly video. Note how the different body parts move in coordination.
