The invention relates to the field of
insect behavioristics, in particular to a method for continuously monitoring movement, sleep and
circadian rhythm of diptera
insect fruit flies in real time, which comprises the following steps: S1, preparing fruit fly food; s2, taking an acrylic tube A with holes in two ends, adding 2cm of
solid food into one end of the acrylic tube A, putting the fruit flies into the acrylic tube A, and plugging the other end of the acrylic tube A with a 2cm
tampon; s3, two acrylic pipes B with holes formed in the two ends are arranged in the acrylic double-opening
pipe A in a sleeving mode, and an A and B combined device is formed; s4, screwing the A and B combined device into an acrylic double-head
pipe C to form an A, B and C combined device; s5, putting the A, B and C combined device into an LAM25 monitor for monitoring; and S6, analyzing the data through
software for sleep and
circadian rhythm analysis. On the basis of an original
insect behavior monitoring system, a
research object is excluded to the species of the fruit flies, a monitoring device is optimized according to
monitoring data, and an accurate method for monitoring movement, sleep and
circadian rhythm states of the fruit flies is established.
