Hi

I'm curating a paper about the affect of mutations on Drosophila flight
preformance (measured in terms of wing beats per minute). I just
wondered if the term 'flight behavior' is synonmous with flight? Or
should flight(walking etc) exist as a separate term(s) under locomotion?
I've always thought the  behavior terms were more to do with how do
something rather than if you can do it e.g. choosing to fly in a circle
rather than the ability to flap your wings in the first place. 

Thanks,

Susan
