Infrared method for determining circadian patterns of carbon dioxide release
Using an infrared technique based on the continuous monitoring of a characteristic infrared absorption band, temporal variations in the circadian patterns of carbon dioxide release were examined in two species of noctuid moths, the corn earworm Heliothis zea ( Boddie ) and the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda ( J. E. Smith ). The detailed emission patterns were shown to be different in the two moth species (Figs. 3, 4). Emission patterns similar to those obtained in adults were also observed to be present in the pupal stage of development.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/47098/1/359_2004_Article_BF00302280.pd
