New Results in Researching the Relationship between Light Trapping of Ostrinia nubilalis Hbn. and Some Features of Night Sky and the Moon in Hungary and USA
Journal Title: International Journal of Zoology and Animal Biology - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
This paper treads with the certain features of night sky and the Moon in connection with the success of light trap catch of European Corn-borer (Ostrinia nubilalis Hübner, 1790) in Hungary and Nebraska and North Carolina states of USA between 1959-2006 and 1994-2017. The features were examined as follows: altitude of the Sun’s Arago point above horizon, altitude of the Moon’s Babinet point above horizon, altitude of the Moon above horizon, apparent magnitude of the Moon, illuminated fraction of the Moon and the moonlight. Calculations were made between these factors and the catch data. The results were depicted together with the confidence intervals. We have found that the neutral points of the sky and the features of the Moon that have not yet been investigated. A similar effect can be seen in the results of the light-trap catch of the Ostrinia nubilalis Hbn. both in Hungary and in America.
