Comparisons of "time of mating" (the time copulation begins) between lines selected for short and long developmental periods have been made in the melon fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae. These comparisons showed that longer development periods were associated with later initiation of mating. Crosses were also made between selected lines to ascertain the genetic basis of developmental period and time of mating. Comparisons of daily activity rhythms for four types of behavior (locomotion, preening, feeding, and wing vibration) between the selected lines showed the following; (1) locomotion and preening occurred in daytime for the short developmental period lines, versus mainly at night for the long developmental period lines; (2) feeding behavior occurred in daytime for both the short and the long developmental period lines; and (3) wing vibration, a component of courtship behavior of males, occurred at dusk for the short developmental period lines and at night for the long developmental period lines.
在瓜实蝇（Bactrocera cucurbitae）中，对选择发育周期短和长的品系之间的“交配时间”（交配开始的时间）进行了比较。这些比较表明，较长的发育周期与较晚开始交配有关。还在选择的品系之间进行了杂交，以确定发育周期和交配时间的遗传基础。对选择品系之间四种行为类型（移动、梳理、进食和振翅）的日常活动节律进行比较，结果如下：（1）发育周期短的品系，移动和梳理行为发生在白天，而发育周期长的品系主要在夜间发生；（2）发育周期短和长的品系，进食行为均发生在白天；（3）振翅是雄性求偶行为的一部分，发育周期短的品系在黄昏时振翅，发育周期长的品系在夜间振翅。
