Fig. 5. Predicted thoracic temperature (Tthx) during flight for N. hybridus, the largest species, N. guttula and N. investigator. Operative temperatures (Te) measured throughout an entire day in late July 2001 were then used to predict the flight Tthx for the three species using the regression of post-flight Tthx against the Te developed for each species. The bars represent possible flight times throughout the day for the three species. Flight times were estimated based on the minimum and maximum thoracic temperatures recorded for each species following a flight trial.
