A thermal performance curve perspective explains decades of disagreements over how air temperature affects the flight metabolism of honey bees

Jordan R. Glass,
Jon F. Harrison

Abstract: While multiple studies have shown that honey bees and some other flying insects lower their flight metabolic rates when flying at high air temperatures, critics have suggested such patterns result from poor experimental methods as, theoretically, air temperature should not appreciably affect aerodynamic force requirements. Here, we show that apparently contradictory studies can be reconciled by considering the thermal performance curve of flight muscle. We show that prior studies that found no effects of air t… Show more
