The mecanisms of resistance to starvation of adult Ceratitis capitata are analysed. This study is based on comparison of two laboratory strains: one which was previously selected for "resistance to starvation" the other which has never been selected. Resistance to starvation appears to be determined, on the one hand by reserves in the insect and their hourly rate of utilisation on the other hand by the efficiency of the antidiuretic system. The selection, which increased adult resistance to starvation acted upon these three factors. It modified the strategy of energy utilisation by inducing a more economic energy budget.
对成年地中海实蝇抗饥饿机制进行了分析。本研究基于两种实验室品系的比较：一种是先前经“抗饥饿”筛选的品系，另一种是从未经过筛选的品系。抗饥饿能力一方面似乎由昆虫体内的储备及其每小时的利用速率决定，另一方面由抗利尿系统的效率决定。增加成年个体抗饥饿能力的筛选作用于这三个因素。它通过诱导更经济的能量预算改变了能量利用策略。
