Abstract
Temp. and light were important factors in determining the rate of locomotion of larvae. Velocities were obtained over the range 13.4-27.0[degree] C, in directional light of constant intensity, and also over a range of intensities from 0.093 to 93.0 meter candles at constant temperatures. The velocity of progression was related to the light intensity according to the expression log V = k log I[long dash]C. This treatment yielded rectilinear graphs which were convenient for comparing effects of temp. and intensity of illumination.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
