Analyzing the use of Humidity Cue in Navigation of Drosophila melanogaster
Humidity is one of the main abiotic factor of ecosystems and affects animals behaviour, fitness and distribution. Due to their small size and inability to thermoregulate using metabolism, insects, such as the fruit fly Drosophila Melanogaster, are especially reliant on humidity. They are able to use humidity as a mean of navigation around their environment by using specialised hygroreceptor neuron
