- 视觉生态学
背景情况:
- 光谱显著影响昆虫的行为.
- 东方果 (Grapholita molesta) 是石头果和果的主要害虫.
- 之前的研究表明,G. molesta可以在昏暗的光线下辨别亮度,但其光谱偏好是未知的.
研究的目的:
- 在不同光谱中研究G. molesta雌性卵位偏好.
- 要确定G. molesta雌性是否可以区分各种类型和强度的光.
- 了解光谱在这种害虫的卵位选择中的作用.
主要方法:

Position-effect Variegation
In 1928, a German botanist Emil Heitz observed the moss nuclei with a DNA binding dye. He observed that while some chromatin regions decondense and spread out in the interphase nucleus, others do not. He termed them euchromatin and heterochromatin, respectively. He proposed that the heterochromatin regions reflect a functionally inactive state of the genome. It was later confirmed that heterochromatin is transcriptionally repressed, and euchromatin is transcriptionally active chromatin.
Complementation Tests
A complementation test is a simple cross to identify whether the two mutations are located on the same gene or different genes. It was first performed by Edward Lewis in the 1940s while working on fruit flies. He developed the test to identify the location and arrangement of different mutations on chromosomes.
Organisms heterozygous for different mutations are crossed pairwise in all combinations. If present on different genes, the mutations can complement each other by providing the missing...

Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways
At the molecular level, visual signals trigger transformations in photopigment molecules, resulting in changes in the photoreceptor cell's membrane potential. The photon's energy level is denoted by its wavelength, with each specific wavelength of visible light associated with a distinct color. The spectral range of visible light, classified as electromagnetic radiation, spans from 380 to 720 nm. Electromagnetic radiation wavelengths exceeding 720 nm fall under the infrared category, whereas...
