Variations in fuel use in the flight muscles of wing-dimorphic Gryllus firmus and implications for morph-specific dispersal.

Abstract excerpt

Although a considerable amount of information is available on tradeoffs in wing-polymorphic insects, only limited data are available on the relationship between flight and biochemical variation within species. In the current study, we compared the biochemical basis in the dorsolongitudinal flight muscle of the wing-dimorphic sand cricket, Gryllus firmus Scudder, with respect to tradeoffs in energy resources...
