متن کاملFree Flight of Aphids in the Laboratory
Much has been learned of the kinematics and aerodynamics, the metabolism and even the sensory and nervous physiology of insect flight from observations on tethered specimens, preferably in a wind tunnel or on a roundabout to provide a relative wind simulating that created by free flight (Pringle, 1957). Such devices were developed to a high pitch of refinement by Weis-Fogh (1956) for locusts an...
متن کاملFlight behaviour attenuates the trade-off between flight capability and reproduction in a wing polymorphic cricket.
Flight-dimorphic insects have been used extensively to study trade-offs between energetically costly traits. Individuals may develop and maintain structures required for flight, or alternatively they may invest in reproduction. Previous experiments have not examined whether flight itself might affect investment into reproduction. As in other Gryllus species, flight-capable individuals of the wi...
متن کاملNutrient absorption and utilization by wing and flight muscle morphs of the cricket Gryllus firmus: implications for the trade-off between flight capability and early reproduction.
Absorption efficiency (AD, approximate digestibility, assimilation efficiency) of various macronutrients and conversion of absorbed nutrients to biomass (ECD) were compared among the two types of flightless morph and the flight-capable morph of the cricket, Gryllus firmus. No biologically significant phenotypic or genetic difference in AD for carbohydrate, protein or lipid was observed among mo...
متن کاملCapital Flight and Economic Growth in Iran
Beginning in the mid-1980s, the phenomenon of capital flight from developing countries received considerable attention in the economics literature. Capital flight destroys the domestic macroeconomic environment and decreases transparency and accountability. It restricts financial resources when a country is looking for economic growth and development. The purpose of this article is to measure t...
