Effect of magnetically simulated zero-gravity and enhanced gravity on the walk of the common fruitfly

The study described in this paper was undertaken as part of a collaboration between researchers in the Schools of Physics & Astronomy and Biosciences at the University of Nottingham, and researchers from the Centro de Investigaciones Biologicas, Madrid, aimed at investigating effects of simulated weightlessness on Drosophila melanogaster. It was funded by an EPSRC Basic Technology grant, and by a grant from the Spanish Science Ministry. Hill conceived and designed the experiment, along with his co-authors, and, in particular, conceived the method used for analysing the data and performed the analysis. Hill wrote the paper, with comments from co-authors.
