我们通过比较闪光和非闪光诱捕器捕获的昆虫数量，验证了夜间昆虫的光静态反应受到光源闪烁的影响的假设。研究了方波脉冲在不同频率和占空比组合下产生的四种闪变曲线。总体而言，在使用闪烁光源照明的陷阱中捕获的昆虫较少，与所使用的闪烁设置无关。此外，观察到的差异对于闪烁条件和昆虫目的特定组合具有统计学意义，因此表明闪烁减少了夜间昆虫被光源吸引的数量。
We tested the hypothesis that the phototatic response of nocturnal insects is influenced by the flickering of light sources by comparing the numbers of insects captured in traps illuminated with flickering and non-flickering light. Four flicker profiles produced by a square pulse wave with different combinations of frequency and duty cycle were investigated. Overall, fewer insects were captured in traps illuminated with a flickering light source, independent of the flicker setting used. Furthermore, the difference observed was statistically significant for specific combinations of flickering conditions and insect orders, thus suggesting that flickering reduces the number of nocturnal insects attracted to light sources.
