Absolute phototactic behaviour depends on wavelength and past experience In its simplest form, phototaxis consists in making a choice between light and no light – what we called “absolute phototaxis”. Does absolute phototaxis depend on wavelength? And can it be modulated by exposure or aversive training against a specific wavelength? To answer these questions, we […] More
Study species P. elegans is widely distributed throughout south-eastern and eastern Australia40. It is classified by the IUCN as of least concern due to its large range and high numbers, but is thought to be declining due to ongoing habitat destruction53. P. elegans use nest hollows for reproduction and show high nest site fidelity, but […] More
