COMPARATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF FLIGHT APPARATUS AND FLIGHT OF SOME FLIES (DIPTERA, BRACHYCERA)
https://doi.org/10.1234/XXXX-XXXX-2012-3-23-27
Abstract
Comparative analysis of flight apparatus and flight characteristics in representatives of 5 dipterous families (Bombyliidae, Syrphidae, Scatophagidae, Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae) is carried out. Data on flight velocity, aerodynamic force, wing-beat frequency, stroke amplitude and stroke plane angle, wing area, body mass and body volume are received. Relations between these parameters are analyzed. Features upon which species of the same genus, representatives of different genera in one family and different families separates are determined.
