Thermoregulation is a fundamental physiological function that maintains homeostasis in both endothermic and ectothermic animals. As a model organism, the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) has markedly contributed to the study of behavioral genetics. Behavioral analyses usingDrosophilahave revealed the sensory neurons, sensor molecules, and other factors including energy metabolism that are closely linked to thermoregulation. In this chapter, we describe the equipment and procedures required for analyzing thermoregulatory behavior inDrosophila. We also provide guidelines for the selection of strategies to analyze behavioral thermoregulation inDrosophila. In addition, we provide representative results obtained with these protocols and show that changes in preferred temperature can be induced by altering the unsaturation of membrane phospholipids.
