The design of a phonoactograph suitable for study on the influence of pheromones on insect mobility.
An instrument for recording changes in insect mobility under the influence of pheromone was described. The instrument was named "phonoactograph" because the intensity of rustle made by insects was utilized as a correlate of their movement. The Colorado beetle males exposed to the action of the female odour increased their mobility significantly.
