The sexual calling behaviour of Ectomyelois ceratoniae, (zell.) was observed in the laboratory under 16L: 8D photoperiodic regime and three different constant temperatures, 20, 25 and 30 degrees C. E. ceratoniae, females showed a broad late-scotophase peak of calling activity without any calling throughout the photophase. Most females started calling during the eclosion day on, regardless of the temperature. With increasing age, moths initiated calling significantly earlier at night and the mean time spent calling increased significantly on successive days of calling. There was an inverse relationship between mean time spent calling and mean onset time of calling (r = -0.8079, p < 0.0001) and these parameters significantly affected by age and square of temperature.
在实验室中，于16小时光照：8小时黑暗的光周期条件以及20℃、25℃和30℃这三种不同恒温条件下，对地中海粉螟（Ectomyelois ceratoniae, (zell.)）的性召唤行为进行了观察。地中海粉螟雌蛾在暗期后期出现广泛的召唤活动高峰，而在光期则无任何召唤行为。大多数雌蛾在羽化当天就开始召唤，与温度无关。随着年龄增长，蛾子在夜间开始召唤的时间显著提前，且在连续的召唤日中，平均召唤时长显著增加。平均召唤时长与平均召唤开始时间之间呈负相关关系（r = -0.8079，p < 0.0001），并且这些参数受到年龄和温度平方的显著影响。
