Student-accessible protocol for looking at 60 (60!) different fly behaviors

In a paper published by the Journal of Undergraduate Neuroscience Education, McKellar and Wyttenbach present a lesson plan for hands-on behavior tests by students (PMC5480838). The authors report that "in our experience, students are fascinated and highly engaged by watching animals perform such a broad array of behaviors."

The article links to a YouTube video resource, The McKellar Videos, that show flies exhibiting various behaviors.

Looks like a great resource!

The videos include "heading nodding yes" and "head shaking no" along with abdominal curling, grooming, and other activities or postures.
