许多昆虫的交配受昼夜循环的影响，即昼夜节律。尽管有许多报道称，昆虫的交配和其他生殖行为受昼夜节律的控制，但很少有人关注昼夜节律对雄性打斗行为的影响。在这里，我们研究了在长时间的条件下，雄性-雄性攻击相互作用的频率和升级是否表现出昼夜节律。尽管事实上，男性的攻击行为最常出现在轻度期的后半段，但在打斗升级和轻度期之间没有发现相互作用。至少，研究结果表明，雄性的攻击性行为和其他生殖行为一样，受到昼夜节律的影响。
In many insects, mating is affected by the day–night cycle, i.e., diurnal rhythm. Although there are many reports that mating and other reproductive behaviors are controlled by daily rhythms in various taxonomic insect species, little attention has been paid to the effect of daily rhythms on male fighting behavior. Here, we investigate whether the frequency and escalation of male–male aggressive interaction exhibit diurnal rhythms under a long‐day condition in the bean bugRiptortus pedestris. Despite the fact that male aggressive behaviors were most often observed in the middle of the later half of light periods, no interaction was found between escalation of fighting and the time period. The results, at least, suggest that male aggressive behaviors are influenced by diurnal rhythms like other reproductive behaviors inR.pedestris.
