Resumo(s)

"Pursuit behaviors require the coordination of movements between the head and body to stabilize the target image within the pursuer’s gaze, enabling accurate estimations of the target’s trajectory that are critical for predation and courtship interactions. However, how visual information is integrated with gaze control to direct the pursuer’s subsequent actions remains poorly understood. We leveraged the courtship pursuit behavior of Drosophila melanogaster, in which male flies continuously orient themselves toward a moving female, to eval uate the role of head-body coordination on pursuit success(...)"
