-Application of the kinetic theory of gas molecules to male zigzagging orientation, which is assumed as repeated encounter between sex pheromone puff and a flying male moth, derived a linear relationship between the number of turnings and the distance from the source where male began repeated turnings.Similar results are also obtained by computer simulation. This relationship was already obtained in Hyphantria cunea males in the field within 2.0 meters downwind from the source.Theoretical simulation and observation results led us to conclude that male repeated turnings are restricted by the time during which males are able to take the approaching behavior to the source.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
