Insect locomotion: Flies show you how to stay on course
Abstract
Walking animals are faced with making a trade-off between maintaining a stable posture and gait and pursuing other goals such as keeping a straight path. A new study on exploratory walking in flies provides a sophisticated quantitative account of this behavioural problem, with some intriguing discoveries.
