Description

Daily forced flight protocol involving 3 × 4 minute flight bouts with rest periods, stimulated by gentle brushing, to experimentally increase energy expenditure in butterflies. Control group remains in shaded cages to prevent spontaneous flight.

Typical Equipment

• 30 × 30 × 30 cm cage
• fine paintbrush
• plastic film lining
• black plastic covering

Output Measurements

• flight activity level
• energy expenditure
