Sentence examples for flight orientation from inspiring English sources

Regardless of treatment (methoprene or vehicle), group analyses showed that the directional fall migrants manifested time-compensated flight orientation.

This was evaluated by increasing JH activity with the potent JH analog methoprene [ 12] and then monitoring the effect on reproductive state and time-compensated flight orientation.

The mean flight orientation did not differ between vehicle- and methoprene-treated migrants (p = 0.18; Watson-Williams F-test) and the combined α was 189.2° (n = 22, r = 0.69, p < 0.00001).

Again, the mean flight orientation did not differ between vehicle- and methoprene-treated migrants (p = 0.573; Watson-Williams F-test) and the combined α was 285.3° (n = 26, r = 0.567, p = 0.0001).

These two lighting cycles, which differed in their timing relative to each other, were used to test whether flight orientation was time compensated, because altering the timing of the daily light-dark cycle should cause predictable changes in the direction the butterflies fly, if time compensation is operable.

These discrepancies are difficult to resolve because many of these studies, especially those comparing stimuli with a different physical nature (e.g., olfactory vs visual), employed different behavioral tasks (e.g., flight orientation or binary choice by walking flies) and/or conditioning designs (Brembs and Wiener, 2006; Brembs and Plendl, 2008; Pitman et al., 2009; Ofstad et al., 2011).

The first significant changes in flight orientations occur in the immediate vicinity of a pheromone source.

In addition, visual landmarks for takeoff and in-flight orientation [ 51] were provided in the form of a false (made from card) plant onto which males were released, two similar false plants placed beside the source, and pieces of colored paper randomly arranged on the four faces of the flight chamber.

The rationale for this approach was that methoprene would only regulate JH-dependent genes and should not affect genes that regulate directional flight and orientation, as our flight experiments showed that oriented flight was not altered by increasing JH activity.

Body odours of volunteers who consumed beer increased mosquito activation (proportion of mosquitoes engaging in take-off and up-wind flight) and orientation (proportion of mosquitoes flying towards volunteers' odours).

(5) Foraging flights performed after orientation flights covered greater distances and may involve a sector of the terrain not explored before, indicating that the acquired visual information plus path integration is sufficient for successful homing even from unfamiliar areas.
