Comparison of the head and body movements of walking Drosophila, walking blowflies (“Calliphora”), and flying honey bees (“Apis”). (A) Respective average yaw velocities during saccades. Note that for bees only the probability density is shown. (B) Average yaw angles (top) of the head and body and the difference between them (bottom) during saccadic body rotations. (C) Distributions of the angles between head and body (the ϕ-angles) observed during the entire trajectories, including saccades, and the trajectories between them. (D) Correlation coefficients between the yaw angles of the head and the body during the saccades. Calliphora is not included in this panel since no such data is available for this species. Data for Apis was taken from Boeddeker (2010) and data for Calliphora from Blaj and van Hateren (2004).
