Enhanced flight performance by genetic manipulation of wing shape in Drosophila.

Nature communications - 1 Mar 2016

Ray Robert P, Nakata Toshiyuki, Henningsson Per, Bomphrey Richard J

Abstract excerpt

Insect wing shapes are remarkably diverse and the combination of shape and kinematics determines both aerial capabilities and power requirements. However, the contribution of any specific morphological feature to performance is not known. Using targeted RNA interference to modify wing shape far beyond the natural variation found within the population of a single species, we show a direct effect on flight...
