摘要: Pupal Mediterranean fruit—fly (eratits capitata Wied) showed different manganese contents as a result of natural concentrations in the larval diet. Adults were marked by feeding larvae on diet containing 10—4 to 10—3 gm MnCl2/gm medium. The adults detected height 0.84 MeV gamma—ray peak following neutron activation. This method may be useful when large numbers insects or other invertebrates are with non—radioactive marker. Manganese (and elements) possibly administered through food—plants for studies dispersal.
