DETERMINING RESPONSE OF INSECTS TO RADIATION BY CONTINUOUS MONITORING OF THEIR CARBON DIOXIDE OUTPUT

摘要

A respiration monitoring technique was used to examine the activity responses of adult European corn borers to bands of UV, visible and IR radia¬tion. Responses were obtained for UV and visible bands from 0.313 to 0.752 microns but no responses were obtained for the IR bands from 1 to 15 microns.
