Sequential Analysis and Regulation of Insect Reproductive Behaviour

  • Chapter
Experimental Analysis of Insect Behaviour

Abstract

Even though the reproductive behaviour of insects has long been a popular subject for research by entomologists, detailed descriptions have been made only since the beginning of the 20th Century. However, descriptions in the period before 1940 were often marked by anthropomorphic interpretations or by Fabre’s finalism despite some serious efforts to analyse the bases of behaviour. These efforts were in three directions:

  1. (a)

    Investigations were carried out into external factors eliciting behaviour.

  2. (b)

    Experiments were carried out on the nervous pathways and factors involved in the organization of various kinds of behaviour.

  3. (c)

    The idea was developed that there was inter-dependence between internal and external factors which results in there being a complex relationship between the organism and its environment.
