Female pheromones modulate flight muscle activation patterns during preflight warm-up.
At low ambient temperature Helicoverpa zea male moths engage in warm-up behavior prior to taking flight in response to an attractive female pheromone blend. Male H. zea warm up at a faster rate when sensing the attractive pheromone blend compared with unattractive blends or blank controls (Crespo et al. 2012), but the mechanisms involved in this olfactory modulation of the heating rate during p...
متن کاملMotor Patterns during Flight and Warm-up in Lepidoptera
One method of analysing the mechanisms by which the central nervous system produces patterned motor output involves describing the motor patterns underlying simple behavioural acts. On the basis of the described patterns, models of the central nervous interactions can be formulated. Further understanding of the central mechanisms controlling a group of muscles can be obtained by comparing the m...
متن کاملActivation of the Fibrillar Muscles in the Bumblebee during Warm-up, Stabilization of Thoracic Temperature and Flight
The fibrillar muscles of bumblebees may be used to drive the wings during flight and during fanning for nest-temperature regulation (Hasselrot, i960), to produce buzzing sounds, to vibrate the substrate during pollen collecting (Michener, 1962), and to generate heat prior to flight or during the incubation of brood (Heinrich, 1972 b). During fanning, buzzing and the production of other vibratio...
متن کاملProline powers pre-flight warm-up in the african fruit beetle pachnoda sinuata
We investigated thoracic temperatures (Tth) during different activities of the endothermic fruit beetle Pachnoda sinuata and analysed which energy substrates are used for the pre-flight warm-up of its flight muscles. Pachnoda sinuata elevates its Tth prior to take-off either by basking in the sun or by warming endothermically to a narrow range around 34 degreesC. During lift-generating tethered...
متن کاملInstantaneous Measurements of Oxygen Consumption during Pre-flight Warm-up and Post-flight Cooling in Sphingid and Saturniid Moths
A method for instantaneous measurement of oxygen consumption in an open flow respirometry system is described. During pre-flight warm-up in both sphingids and saturniids, oxygen consumption reaches levels 20 to 70 times resting values. J^o, required to maintain the thorax at flight temperature by intermittent wing-quivering and fluttering is about onethird the maximum Vo% during warm-up. The Q1...
