“…Reproduction and development of ladybird beetles, ants, and honeybees are negatively affected by red light [12]. Meanwhile, green light has been found to reduce reproduction in Propylea japonica [13]. In Japan, as a pest management approach, yellow and green lights have been used at night to suppress behavioral activities of nocturnal moths [6].…”

Adult Tea Green Leafhoppers, Empoasca onukii (Matsuda), Change Behaviors under Varying Light Conditions

et al. 2017

Insect behaviors are often influenced by light conditions including photoperiod, light intensity, and wavelength. Understanding pest insect responses to changing light conditions may help with developing alternative strategies for pest control. Little is known about the behavioral responses of leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) to light conditions. The behavior of the tea green leafhopper, Empoasca onukii Matsuda, was examined when exposed to different light photoperiods or wavelengths. Observations included the frequency of locomotion and cleaning activities, and the duration of time spent searching. The results suggested that under normal photoperiod both female and male adults were generally more active in darkness (i.e., at night) than in light. In continuous darkness (DD), the locomotion and cleaning events in Period 1 (7:00–19:00) were significantly increased, when compared to the leafhoppers under normal photoperiod (LD). Leafhoppers, especially females, changed their behavioral patterns to a two day cycle under DD. Under continuous illumination (continuous quartz lamp light, yellow light at night, and green light at night), the activities of locomotion, cleaning, and searching were significantly suppressed during the night (19:00–7:00) and locomotion activities of both females and males were significantly increased during the day (7:00–19:00), suggesting a shift in circadian rhythm. Our work suggests that changes in light conditions, including photoperiod and wavelength, can influence behavioral activities of leafhoppers, potentially affecting other life history traits such as reproduction and development, and may serve as a method for leafhopper behavioral control.

“…Wang et al . () noted that this factor stimulates copulation in different species of predators and parasitoids. In our case, no significant increase was observed in the production of female progeny, and therefore, we cannot state that mating activity varied in relation to the photoperiod.…”

Packaging conditions for the field release of the fruit fly parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

2016

The effects of adult density, hypoxia conditions, temperature and photoperiod on the emergence, mating, flight ability, survival and fecundity of adult Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead) were evaluated when insects were packaged in a 20 l cylindrical container for field release. Survival was the only parameter that was significantly affected by density and hypoxia. Emergence and fecundity were noticeably delayed with decreased temperature, although survival increased. Mating depended mainly on temperature, but photoperiod was not a determinant; however, the presence of light significantly increased fecundity and flight ability of adults. Adult emergence averaged 60%, but in high packaging densities a greater incidence of damage to antennae occurred, likely because of mating behaviours in overcrowded conditions. The information generated by this study is useful for the field release of higher quality parasitoid adults in projects intended to utilise augmentative biological control to suppress fruit fly pest populations.

“…En H. axyridis y Propylea japonica (Thunberg, 1781) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) evidenciaron que la duración y cantidad de cópulas, intervalo entre cópulas y tiempo de persecución varían según el fotoperiodo, la iluminancia y las longitudes de onda. Por ejemplo, la duración de cópulas disminuye a mayor iluminación (Wang et al, 2014a(Wang et al, , 2014b.…”

Actualmente, el uso masificado de fuentes de luz artificial permite el desarrollo de varias actividades. Sin embargo, pueden causar perturbaciones en los insectos adaptados a los cambios de luz natural. El objetivo fue recopilar evidencia de los efectos de la luz artificial en los insectos del orden Coleoptera. Los resultados evidencian sensibilidad hacia la luz, debido a los fotorreceptores de los coleópteros. Identificamos repercusiones a nivel individual, poblacional y comunitario. Estos efectos tienen aplicación para la gestión de la iluminación en la conservación ecológica, manejo de plagas e investigaciones médicas. Concluimos que los efectos son potenciales para la pérdida de biodiversidad si la gestión de la iluminación no es la adecuada.
