This study will examine the power production of closely related insects         over a wide size range using three different approaches.  First the             metabolic rate will be measured for these animals in free flight.               Second, using video of the animals in flight analyzed frame by frame            and aerodynamic theory the mechanical power requirements can be                 calculated.  Third, the muscle of the same species will be examined             directly to measure their maximal force production using standard               physiological techniques.  The muscles will be examined under                   electronmicroscopy to determine the magnitude of force producing                components (myofibrils) and aerobic energy production (mitochondria).           All these components will be determined over a wide size range of moths         to examine the role of size change in muscle function.
