"The object of this study has been to obtain new information concerning the
respiratory metabolism of an insect during flight. No previous paper known to
the present writers treats quantitatively the respiration during flight of any
dipterous insect, although Demoll (1927) inferred that the rate of respiration of mosquitoes
(Culex sp.) must be increased in flight because they were then more rapidly poisoned by HCN [Hydrogen cyanide] than when at rest. Data on the respiration of flying bees (Apis mellifica
L.) are given in the papers of Tauchert (1930), of Kosmin, Alpatov, and Resnitschenko
(1932), and of Jongbloed and Wiersma (1934), while Kalmus (1929), and Raffy
and Portier (1931) have studied the respiration of flying Lepidoptera. The literature has been reviewed in some detail by Jongbloed and Wiersma, so that it will be necessary to give here only a brief summary of the results obtained. This has been done in Table I." |
