摘要
In tethered Locusta migratoria suspended from a flight balance, flight performance, wing-stroke frequency, stroke angle, and stroke plane angle were studied throughout adult life. No correlation between flight performance and age was found in adults older than 2 days. During continuous flight in locusts of all ages the wing-stroke frequency and the wing-stroke angle of both wings decreases, and the wing-stroke plane angle (forewing) increases slightly. Within 2 weeks of adult life the wing-stroke frequency increases by a factor of ca. 2, whereas the wing-stroke angles and the stroke plane angles remain constant. © 1979.
