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 ...

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.

Larval Crowding Did Not Enhance Adult Migration Propensity in Spodoptera frugiperda
Insects, 2022 Reproduction and flight are two major adaptive strategies to cope with environmental stress in migratory insects. However, research on density-mediated flight and reproduction in the global migratory agricultural pest Spodoptera frugiperda is lacking. In

Robust flight-to-gate assignment with landside capacity constraints [PDF]
Transportation Planning and Technology, 2021 At the interface between airport airside and landside operations, the assignment of flights to gates is key to ensure efficient operations and a high quality of service for passengers. We propose a mixed-integer linear program for an integrated flight-to-gate assignment that considers both airside as well as landside constraints on the capabilities of ...

Oxygen Dependence of Flight Performance in Ageing Drosophila melanogaster
Biology, 2021 Similar to humans, insects lose their physical and physiological capacities with age, which makes them a convenient study system for human ageing. Although insects have an efficient oxygen-transport system, we know little about how their flight capacity ...

Limits to load-lifting performance in a passerine bird: the effects of intraspecific variation in morphological and kinematic parameters [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Although more massive flight muscles along with larger wings, higher wingbeat frequencies and greater stroke amplitudes enhance force and power production in flapping flight, the extent to which these parameters may be correlated with other morphological
