The design of a phonoactograph suitable for study on the influence of pheromones on insect mobility
1Department of Applied Entomology, Agricultural University, Warsaw.
Abstract:
An instrument for recording changes in insect mobility under the influence of pheromone was described. The instrument was named "phonoactograph" because the intensity of rustle made by insects was utilized as a correlate of their movement. The Colorado beetle males exposed to the action of the female odour increased their mobility significantly.
