A juvenile hormone analogue (methoprene) affected the circadian system controlling the adult eclosion rhythm inDiatraea grandiosella. The effect of methroprene was compared with those of photoperiod, sex and temperature. The phase difference (ψ̃rl) between the rhythm and the light-dark cycle and its variance increased as the photoperiod increased. Males emerged earlier than females. Higher temperatures induced earlier eclosion and reduced the variance. A parallel phase advance was observed in papae treated topically with methoprene. At the higher dose tested, methoprene induced earlier eclosion. The effect of methoprene was both dose and age dependent, with earlier application more effective. A dosage of 3.0 μg was lethal, however, if applied in the first 2 days of pupal stage. Synthetic juvenile hormone I had less effect than methoprene. Methoprene accelerated adult differentiation and emergence in both sexes.
