Behavioural Clips for mating pairs with predators

Clips from full videos used to score a mating pairs courtship and copulation behaviours. These clips highlight both mating behaviours and antipredatory behaviours displayed by the mating pairs.<br>Each clip has 4 containers with a mating pair of <i>Drosophila melanogaster </i>that are separated from a spider beneath by a layer of mesh. Additional details can be seen in BoxA. Courtship Predator where clips was trimmed from full video files.<br>"Courting" videos show the courtship initiations, durations and different behavioural displays that were used to score the number of courtship displays and the amount of time courting through 15 minutes. Note: other videos have courtship occurring as well for more examples.<br>"Copulation" video shows a male initiating copulation with a female (used as copulation initiation measure). Copulation duration was measured from this start time to the moment the male and female separated. Note: this video is the only one taken from BoxC - Copulation Predator.<br>All other videos are present as examples of flies reacting to the predation threat beneath them. Behaviours highlighted include "Jumping" away from a perceived threat, "Turning" and "Avoidance" to avoid a predator, "AbdominalLift", a behaviour previously observed in the lab believed to be an antipredatory trait, "Freeze" where a fly stops moving when close to a predator, and "FlipOut" where a fly jumps, flies and moves rapidly when encountering a predator.<br><br>Videos ending correspond to container showing behaviour of interest (BL = Bottom Left, TR = Top Right etc.).
