Abstract

48 Mosquitoes (Culex pipiens fatigans) were isolated in constant darkness and their flight activity monitored with an automatic acoustical recording system. Three basic features were recognized: (I) there was a strong endogenous circadian rhythm with activity in the subjective evening and morning (Fig. 9) ; (2) flights came in bouts with the bouts more closely spaced in the evening activity period (Fig. 10) ; (3) the distributions of flight and interval lengths suggested that the onset and cessation of flight were relatively simple stochastic processes (Figs. 5, 6, 7). A stochastic model, requiring a few simple assumptions, was proposed to accommodate these features. Computer simulation of mosquito activity, based upon the model, generated patterns which looked like the real thing (Fig. 15).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
