A Comparison of Mechanical and Energetic Estimates of Flight Cost for Hovering Sphinx Moths

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1981
ABSTRACT Mechanical power output, based on measured power input, is compared with calculated values for aerodynamic and inertial power output in sphinx moths ranging from 350 to 3400 mg. Aerodynamic power output, calculated from momentum and blade-element aerodynamic theories, scales with the 1·08 power of body mass, amounting to about ...

Food Plants of Some Adult Sphinx Moths (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae)

The Great Lakes Entomologist, 2017
Excerpt: While food plants of many species of sphinx moth larvae are well known, food plants of the adults are not. Many observations of the feeding habits of adult sphinx moths undoubtedly have been made, but much of the information is probably resting in the field notebooks and memories of the observers.

Olfactory interneurons in the brain of the larval sphinx moth Manduca sexta

Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 1990
1. The physiology and morphology of olfactory interneurons in the brain of larval Manduca sexta were studied using intracellular recording and staining techniques. Antennal olfactory receptors were stimulated with volatile substances from plants and with pure odorants. Neurons responding to the stimuli were investigated further to reveal their response

Distribution of acetylcholinesterase activity in the deutocerebrum of the sphinx moth Manduca sexta

Cell & Tissue Research, 1995
We have used a cytochemical technique to investigate the distribution of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in the deutocerebrum of the brain of the sphinx moth Manduca sexta. To distinguish between extra- and intracellular pools of the enzyme, some brains were treated prior to histochemical staining with echothiophate, an irreversible AChE inhibitor

Organization of the antennal motor system in the sphinx moth Manduca sexta

Cell and Tissue Research, 1997
The antennae of the sphinx moth Manduca sexta are multimodal sense organs, each comprising three segments: scape, pedicel, and flagellum. Each antenna is moved by two systems of muscles, one controlling the movement of the scape and consisting of five muscles situated in the head capsule (extrinsic muscles), and the other system located within the ...

Immunocytochemistry of GABA in the antennal lobes of the sphinx moth Manduca sexta

Cell and Tissue Research, 1986
We have prepared and characterized specific rabbit antisera against gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) coupled covalently to bovine serum albumin and keyhole-limpet hemocyanin. Using these antisera in immunocytochemical staining procedures, we have probed the antennal lobes and their afferent and efferent fiber tracts in the sphinx moth Manduca sexta for ...

Rates of Post-flight Cooling in Sphinx Moths

1975
Effective endothermy depends on the capacity to match rates of heat production and heat loss. Other things being equal, the rate of heat loss of a body is proportional to its surface area, and objects of similar geometry have surface areas that are proportional to the two-third power of their volumes. It is, therefore, not surprising that in both birds
