Female receptivity in mating is crucial for successful copulation, but protocols for quantifying female behaviors reflecting receptivity are scarce compared to the analysis of male behaviors. Here, we present a protocol for assessing the sexual receptivity of female Drosophila that considers behaviors from both sexes. We describe steps for preparing and loading flies into a courtship chamber, video recording the behaviors of the pairs, and analyzing their behavioral displays. This protocol includes behavior recognition criteria suitable for typical laboratory settings. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Yang et al. (2023)..
在交配中,雌性的接受能力对于成功交配至关重要,但与分析雄性行为相比,用于量化反映雌性接受能力的行为的方案却很少。在这里,我们提出了一种评估雌性果蝇性接受能力的方案,该方案考虑了两性的行为。我们描述了准备和将果蝇装入求偶室、视频记录对的行为以及分析它们的行为表现的步骤。该方案包括适合典型实验室环境的行为识别标准。有关此方案的使用和执行的完整详细信息,请参阅 Yang 等人。(2023 年)。
