When males of the silkmoth Antheraea pernyi were exposed to 12 degrees C diuring adult development and then tested for flight activity at 25 degrees C, the time of the onset of the activity was advanced to the early part of the night. This change in the time of activity was stable and persisted through the life of the moth. Females showed a corresponding shift in the time of sex pheromone release when they were treated in the same fashion.
当野蚕雄蛾在成虫发育期间暴露于 12°C 下,然后在 25°C 下测试其飞行活动时,活动开始的时间提前到夜间的早期。这种活动时间的变化是稳定的,并贯穿于蛾的一生。当以同样的方式处理雌性时,它们的性信息素释放时间也相应地发生了变化。
