*Significant difference from the control; +significant difference between homozygous and heterozygous lines (one‐way ANOVA; P < 0.05). n = 111 for free flight, n = 10 for wing beat frequency (WBF), and n = 10 for jump tests, except for homozygous R249Q flies’ WBF at 15°C (n = 3) and at 20°C (n = 5) because homozygous flies had difficulty beating their wings for 20 consecutive seconds, which often caused unreliable WBF measurement.
