摘要:
There was an effect of harborage-to-resource distance but no main effect of density on the frequency of feeding and drinking activity of adultBlattella germanica, videotaped continuously for 96 h. Feeding and drinking diel periodicity was more pronounced when the resource was placed further from the harborage with activity peaking ca. 2 h into scotophase and declining at the onset of photophase. Nongravid females and males fed and drank more often than gravid females, with a high percentage of females carrying oothecae never feeding or drinking during the recording period.
