Simple ways to measure behavioral responses of Drosophila to stimuli and use of these methods to characterize a novel mutant.

The behavioral responses of adult Drosophila fruit flies to a variety of sensory stimuli--light, volatile and non-volatile chemicals, temperature, humidity, gravity, and sound--have been measured by others previously. Some of those assays are rather complex; a review of them is presented in the Disc...
