Abstract
Adults responded to both temperature gradients and moisture differences in columns of wheat with temperature gradients and moisture content differences. The response was different at different moisture conditions. Adults were more sensitive to moisture differences and moved faster in 12.5% m.c. wheat than in 14.5% m.c. wheat. Adults stayed in warmer sections in both high and low moisture grain. At different moisture conditions, adults changed their preference (e.g., preferred high moisture grain in dry grain, and preferred warmer temperature in damp grain).
