Description

This is a secondary-processed data of the navigation performance of male moths in different conditions in a wind tunnel experiment. The experiment includes 9 treatments comprised of 3 biological and physical effects: (I) the number of the odor source (1 or 2), (ii) the quality of the odor souce/s (reproductive potential of female moths, i.e fitness), and (iii) the conditions of airflow (undisturbed or disturbed). The study investigated the navigation performance of a nocturnal male moth, pink bollworm. Parameters used are taken from the fields of behavioral ecology and biological flues.
