Abstract
SUMMARY.: 1. While most grain‐weevils. Calandra granaria (L.), move away from a source of light, a small fraction of the population move towards it.2. It has been shown by selection carried out for two generations that there are two genetic types of weevils, those which are negative to light and those which are almost indifferent to it.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
