昆虫趋光性及其机理的研究进展

依据目前已有资料 ,从行为学、生理学及田间应用调查等方面概述了近几十年昆虫趋光性的国内外研究进展。其中 ,行为学与生理学研究较多 ,且两者结果基本一致 ,相互补充 ,为趋光性机制的假说提供了可靠的依据。关于昆虫趋光性机制的假说较多 ,其中报道较多的是光干扰假说、光定向行为假说和生物天线假说 3种 ,现在较为普遍接受的是前两者。光干扰假说是指刺眼作用干扰昆虫的正常活动导致趋光 ,而光定向行为假说则指昆虫趋光是由于光定向行为所致

Advances in research on phototaxis of insects and the mechanism

Phototaxis is an interesting phenomenon but it is thought that the phototactic mechanism of insects is different from the one of other phototactic animals.In this article,the research advance on phototaxis was reviewed mainly in ethoology and physiology.Many hypotheses on phototaxis were proposed,but two of them,light interference and light orientation,were more acceptable.The light interference hypothesis supporters believed the phototaxis was the result of eye\|shining,while the light orientation hypothesis supporters thought the true reason was that the artificial light deluded the insects which used star\|light for orientation.
