Quantifying the Aerodynamic Power Required for Flight and Testing for Adaptive Wind Drift in Passion-Vine Butterflies Heliconius sara (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

SIMPLE SUMMARY: Theory predicts that flying animals maximizing their migratory distance should adjust their airspeeds for headwinds and tailwinds. This energy-conserving adjustment in airspeed is based on the theory that as an insect increases its airspeed, the power required to fly increases rapidl...
