抽象的。实验在雄性 Glossina morsitans morsitans Westw 上进行。和雌性家蝇，研究它们在长波长下的趋光反应。在这两个物种中，绿光的吸引力不如红光（相对于 400 nm 标准）。在家蝇中，这可以通过波长高于 500 nm 时强度依赖性趋光性逆转来充分解释。红光的吸引力可以与低强度绿光相匹配，这意味着不存在真正的红绿辨别能力，但红色被视为暗绿色。尽管在 G. m. 中也观察到部分趋光性逆转。在 525–575 nm 波长处，没有测试过绿色的强度与红色的吸引力相匹配。因此看来 G. m.莫西坦可能是一种不寻常的双翅目动物，因为它拥有一种独立于强度的红光和绿光辨别方法。这两个物种也能从绿色中分辨出近紫外光。
ABSTRACT. Experiments were performed on male Glossina morsitans morsitans Westw. and female Musca domestica L. to investigate their phototactic responses at long wavelengths. In both species, green light was less attractive than red (relative to a 400 nm standard). In M. domestica this can be adequately explained by an intensity‐dependent phototactic reversal at wavelengths above 500 nm; red light could be matched in attractiveness by a low intensity green light, implying that no true red‐green discriminating ability exists, but that red is perceived as a dim green. Although a partial phototactic reversal was also observed in G. m. morsitans at 525–575 nm, no tested intensity of green matched red in attractiveness. It appears therefore that G. m. morsitans may be an unusual dipteran in possessing a method of discriminating red and green light independently of intensity. Both species also resolved near‐UV from green.
