Values are means ± s.d. from 100 cycles, 20 from each of five animals for each condition. t/P values (in parentheses) are from Student's two-tailed t-test: *unpaired, tested against wind data; paired, tested between DE and ED latencies

F, flight-rhythm frequency; DE, depressor to elevator latency; ED, elevator to depressor latency; DE/DD phase, elevator phase in depressor cycle; HF, hind to forewing latency; LR, left to right wing latency
