Abstract
Field studies of male sex attraction rhythms in Argyrotaenia velutinana and five other lepidopterous species reveal that the diel periodicity was modified by ambient temperature. The temperature near the mean hour of attraction appeared to be the most important environmental parameter correlated to the shift in rhythmicity.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
