Due to the central importance of energy metabolism to several physiological systems, data for the flight metabolism of insects has been reviewed from a variety of standpoints in the past few years. The prodigious quantities of heat produced as a by-product of flight activity has necessitated consideration of flight metabolism in reviews of insect ...

Insect Flight Muscle Chemomechanics
2007The biochemical and mechanical basis of insect flight has captivated the interest of biologists for decades. This chapter presents a brief review of the approaches used and results obtained by investigators intent on understanding the chemomechanical basis of contraction in insect muscle.

The intensity and precise control of metabolic processes in the flight muscle of insects during flight have engaged the attention of biochemists and physiologists for many years. The over-all level of metabolism in the working muscle may be estimated from either the depletion of the animals’ depots of fuel or the respiratory exchange. Values as high as

Abstract In the evolution of the Oligoneoptera, the tendency towards improved flight predominated over the tendency to improve the locking of the folded wings. With the complete metamorphosis characteristic of these insects, the function of feeding is accomplished by a poorly mobile larva, while winged imagos retain the functions of the ...
