Why Do Certain Moths Navigate Using Moonlight—And Get Confused by Streetlamps?
为什么某些蛾类利用月光导航,却会被路灯迷惑?
精读先不看文字,完整听一遍。
-
Many night-flying moths use celestial navigation, keeping the moon at a constant angle to fly straight.许多夜间飞行的蛾子依靠天体导航,保持月光与身体夹角恒定来直线飞行。
-
Since the moon is extremely far away, its light rays reach Earth almost parallel, making this method reliable.由于月亮距离地球极远,其光线抵达地球时近乎平行,因此该方法十分可靠。
-
Streetlamps, however, emit light in all directions, so their rays converge sharply on nearby objects.而路灯向四面八方发光,光线在近处物体上急剧汇聚。
-
A moth trying to hold a fixed angle to the lamp spirals inward until it hits the bulb or flame.蛾子若试图维持与路灯的固定夹角,便会螺旋式向内飞,直至撞上灯泡或火焰。
-
This error does not happen with stars because they are even farther—and dimmer—than the moon.这种错误不会发生在星星身上,因为星星比月亮更远、也更暗。
-
Some moths also detect polarized light patterns in twilight skies to calibrate their internal compass.一些蛾子还能感知暮色天空中的偏振光模式,用以校准体内罗盘。
-
Artificial light disrupts mating signals, feeding rhythms, and larval development in many insect species.人工光源会干扰多种昆虫的交配信号、摄食节律和幼虫发育。
-
LED lights worsen the problem because their blue-rich spectrum mimics daylight more closely.LED灯加剧了这一问题,因其富含蓝光的光谱更接近白昼光线。
-
Conservationists now install shielded, amber-colored lights near habitats to reduce disorientation.保护工作者如今在栖息地附近安装遮蔽式琥珀色灯具,以减少昆虫迷失方向。
-
This shows how ancient biological strategies can clash with modern human technology in unexpected ways.这表明古老的生物策略可能以意想不到的方式与现代人类技术发生冲突。

课程开发中,敬请期待。成人和孩子都可以先自学听读、精读。
这边的讲解音轨还在做。想先跟着老师走完固定 30 课,可以去陈老师带读社(和自学通行不是同一份会员)。
