Watt 9807609 In the proposed support period the PIs will finish development of a nearly completed method for analyzing metabolites of glycolysis in direct energetic support of insect flight. The PIs will evaluate the effects on flight performance of 10 natural genotypes of a gtycolytic: enzyme, PGI, in the PIs insect study system, using the PIs computerized insect wind tunnel to evaluate lift and thrust output, duration of peak output, and duration of minimal flight sustenance as functions of genotype, brood, and other relevant independent variables. The PIs will test the same genotypes for their effects on flight initiation and sustenance at the behavioral level in outdoor cages, with microclimate monitoring in the cages to establish appropriate control of daily thermal fluctuations. This research, if successful, will lay the foundation for much new progress in the study of adaptive metabolic organization in support of animal locomotion and behavior.

瓦特9807609 在建议的支持期间，PI将完成一个接近完成的方法的开发，用于分析糖酵解代谢物，直接为昆虫飞行提供能量支持。PI将在PI昆虫研究系统中评估10种天然基因型的促性腺激素释放酶（PGI）对飞行性能的影响，使用PI计算机化昆虫风洞评估升力和推力输出、峰值输出持续时间和最小飞行维持持续时间（作为基因型、育雏和其他相关自变量的函数）。PI将测试相同的基因型在户外笼子中对飞行启动和行为水平的维持的影响，并在笼子中进行小气候监测，以建立对每日温度波动的适当控制。 这项研究如果成功，将为支持动物运动和行为的适应性代谢组织研究的许多新进展奠定基础。
