摘要
ABSTRACT. The spontaneous locomotor activity of the larvae of Culiseta incidens was monitored with acoustic actographs. Individuals, in water resting on the cones of the speakers, displayed an activity rhythm in LD 12:12 with peak activity in the light phase. A similar rhythm occurred in DD following rearing in either LD 12:12 or LL, with free‐running periods of 23.5–24 h. No evidence was found of any consistent differences between the periods of the larvae and pupae. The amplitude of the pupal rhythm gradually increased as metamorphosis progressed. It is suggested that rhythmicity might also be found in those behavioural responses of mosquito larvae and pupae which have been the subject of previous studies. Copyright © 1979, Wiley Blackwell.
