... and efficient way to quantify such response properties is to use m-sequences or other white noise techniques. Therefore, here we used m-sequences to quantify the impulse responses of optic flow-sensitive descending neurons in male Eristalis tenax hoverflies. We focused on roll impulse responses as hoverflies...

...Yvonne C. Golding; A. Roland Ennos; Malcolm Edmunds ABSTRACT It is generally accepted that the dronefly Eristalis tenax is a Batesian mimic of the honeybee Apis mellifera . Previous work has established that the foraging behaviour of droneflies is more similar to that of its model than...

... constant temperature cooling constant warming constant hoverfly Eristalis tenax Eristalis pertinax Cooling and warming constants ( k c and k w ) reflect the speed at which an individual passively cools down or warms up in response to temperature changes in the environment (e.g...
