Flight capacity of Bactrocera dorsalis (Diptera: Tephritidae) adult females based on flight mill studies and flight muscle ultrastructure. [PDF]
J Insect Sci, 2015 The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is considered a major economic threat in many regions worldwide. To better comprehend flight capacity of B. dorsalis and its physiological basis, a computer-monitored flight mill was used to study flight capacity of B. dorsalis adult females of various ages, and the changes of

Factors Affecting the Flight Capacity of Two Woodwasp Species, Sirex noctilio F. (Hymenoptera: Siricidae) and Sirex nitobei M. (Hymenoptera: Siricidae) [PDF]
Insects, 2023 Sirex noctilio F. is an invasive woodwasp that causes pine mortality in plantations in China. Sirex nitobei M. is a native woodwasp in large areas of China. In this study, the flight capacity of the two woodwasps was studied and compared using a tethered-

REPTILIAN PHYSIOLOGY AND THE FLIGHT CAPACITY OFARCHAEOPTERYX [PDF]
Evolution, 1991 Current scenarios frequently interpret the Late Jurassic bird Archaeopteryx as having had an avian-type physiology and as having been capable of flapping flight, but only from "the trees downward." It putatively lacked capacity for takeoff and powered flight from the ground upward.

Laboratory Evaluation of Flight Capacities ofAedes japonicus(Diptera: Culicidae) Using a Flight Mill Device [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2021 AbstractDispersion expands the distribution of invasive species and as such, it is a key factor of the colonization process. Aedes japonicus japonicus (Theobald, 1901) is an invasive species of mosquito and a vector of various viruses. It was detected in the northeast of France in 2014.

Flight Capacity and Response to Habitat Drying of Endemic Diving Beetles (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) in Arkansas (USA) [PDF]
Hydrobiology, 2023 The ability to colonize new habitat is essential for wild populations affected by disturbance or other forms of habitat change. For aquatic insects in small streams, overland flight is an important strategy for dispersal when barriers to in-stream ...

Shaft Capacity of Continuous Flight Auger Piles in Sand [PDF]
Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2009 This paper presents the results of a series of field experiments performed to study the development of shaft resistance on continuous flight auger piles installed in sand. The test piles were instrumented in order to separate the shaft and base resistance, and to allow the determination of the distribution of shaft resistance along the pile shaft.

The effects of age and lifetime flight behavior on flight capacity inDrosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2014 The effects of flight behavior on physiology and senescence may be profound in insects because of the extremely high metabolic costs of flight. Flight capacity in insects decreases with age; in contrast, limiting flight behavior extends lifespan and slows the age-related loss of antioxidant capacity and accumulation of oxidative damage in flight ...
