Abstract
Summary M. Launois, J.-R. Le Berre & M. Lecoq: Experimental study of locomotory activity of the migratory locust Locusta migratoria capito in the nature. Recording of the rhythmic pattern of the daily activity in field experiments allowed to obtain graphs of locomotory activity of the migratory locust Locusta migratoria capito in semi-natural conditions. The daily rhythm of solitary insects shows two daily maxima of locomotory activity, one during the daylight, one at twilight. Natural populations show a high heterogeneity. The mean of inferior threshold is about 17 °C. Gravidity and fast induce an important locomotory activity. At last, grouping modifies the timing of the events and, specially, the disparition of the twilight activity.
