估算不同光源與紫外線對白蟻吸引效應之研究
A Study on Estimating the Attracting Effect of Different Light Sources and Associated Ultraviolet Light to Termites
摘要
對於環境昆蟲白蟻的防治，現行提倡的方式是整合性的蟲害管理，對於故宮博物院的昆蟲學者而言，瞭解周遭白蟻的趨光性生態係整合性蟲害管理的重要一環，值得深入探討。故宮博物院周遭的夜間照明設施，對於春夏之際活動的白蟻具有吸引力，因此，張琳、吳文哲、徐爾烈((2001)等三位昆蟲學者研究各種光源以及紫外線對於白蟻的吸引效應，並判定金屬鹵素燈(HL)、金屬鈉燈(SL)與水銀燈(ML)三者效應存在顯著差異。本文研究更進一步估算此等效應的可能範圍，利用拔靴的計算法來概略估算此等效應的信賴區間，期以提供整合性蟲害管理的基本資訊，基於此基本資訊當能更有效的規劃蟲害防治措施。

Termite is one of the environmental insects that can be very destructive to wood structures under serious infestations. The dynamics of termite population in the surrounding area of the National Palace Museum is a great concern to entomologists working for the Museum. In the year of 2001, three entomologists published a research paper on the effect of termite attraction caused by three different types of street lamps in the neighborhood of the Museum. According to their report, the attraction effect is affected by two factors, the light source from street lamp and the presence or absence of ultraviolet (UV) light associated with the light source. There are three light sources for street lamps, i.e., MetalArc halide lamp (HL), sodium lamp (SL) and mercury lamp (ML). The results of their study indicated that illumination of ML had no attraction to termite while the other two types were attractive to the insects. Moreover, the presence of UV can greatly reduced the attraction effect of these two light sources. The purpose of this study was to estimate the magnitude of the attraction effect, by using the confidence interval to compare the differences between the light sources. A new method was proposed to obtain an approximate confidence interval for the comparisons. The derived reliable estimates are useful for in-depth research on integrated termite management.
