实验在不同的温度和光周期条件下研究了亚洲玉米螟Ostrinia furnacalis(Guen6e)的羽化节律。结果表明:在8~16h的暗期中亚洲玉米螟羽化高峰均集中在暗期,羽化活动随光暗交替表现出节律性。这种节律性受到暗长的影响,暗期越短羽化高峰越提前,反之亦然;其次温度也影响羽化节律,在22℃中各光周期的羽化高峰均比25℃出现的更晚。此外亚洲玉米螟在持续的光期中羽化不表现出内源性节律,而在持续暗期中却表现出内源性节律,且该内源性节律在22℃和25℃下基本相同约为24h。
The effects of temperature and photoperiod on the eclosion rhythm of Ostrinia furnacalis (Guen6e) were studied under laboratory conditions. All of the eclosion peaks were found to appear in the scotophase, for night lengths from 8 h to 16 h. The eclosion patterns were found to be in rhythm with the light-dark cycle, the rhythmicity being affected by the length of scotophase and by temperature. The eclosion peak was earlier with a shorter scotophase, and later with a longer scotophase and the peaks were later at a temperature of 22℃ than at 25℃. Free-run eclosion rhythms were found to be about 24 h at both 22℃ and 25℃and only appeared in constant darkness.
