The crepuscular biting rhythm of A. subalbatus has been found to be a genuine circadian rhythm. When the entrained biting rhythm is allowed to freerun in constant darkness (DD) and continuous illumination (LL), it persists in DD (tau = 24.36 hr) and also in LL of ca. 0.1 1x (tau-23.82 hr) thus deviating from the strict 24 hr periodicity of the geophysical day. The biting rhythm becomes arrhythmic in LL of 1.0, 10, 0.4, 4, 40 lx even the first cycle damping away.
已发现亚白纹伊蚊的黄昏叮咬节律是一种真正的昼夜节律。当被夹带的叮咬节律在持续黑暗(DD)和持续光照(LL)中自由运行时,它在DD(τ = 24.36小时)以及约0.1勒克斯的LL(τ = 23.82小时)中持续存在,因此偏离了地球物理日严格的24小时周期性。在1.0、10、0.4、4、40勒克斯的LL中,叮咬节律变得无节律,甚至第一个周期也逐渐消失。
