“…Some of the neuropeptide signaling pathways that are structurally conserved between mammals and insects have been revealed 36 . Comparison of circadian rhythms among the selected populations used in this study showed no differences in the period and amplitude of circadian rhythms between populations 37 . It is possible that gene action may differ among species, but more work is needed to compare feeding behavior and memory among these populations.…”

Movement is an important behavior observed in a wide range of taxa. Previous studies have examined genes controlling movement using wing polymorphic insects and genes controlling wing size. However, few studies have investigated genes controlling movement activity rather than morphological traits. In the present study, we conducted RNA sequencing using populations with higher (WL) and lower (WS) mobility established by artificial selection in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum and compared gene expression levels between selected populations with two replicate lines. As a result, we found significant differences between the selected populations in 677 genes expressed in one replicate line and 1198 genes expressed in another replicate line, of which 311 genes were common to the two replicate lines. Furthermore, quantitative PCR focusing on 6 of these genes revealed that neuropeptide F receptor gene (NpF) was significantly more highly expressed in the WL population than in the WS population, which was common to the two replicate lines. We discuss differences in genes controlling movement between walking activity and wing polymorphism.

Laboratory experiments revealed individual variability in the intensity of day and night movement activity of starved and fed adults of a predatory ladybird Cheilomenes propinqua . Statistical analysis of the experimental data showed that (1) individual variability of day and night movement activity is determined by di erent parameters of Ch. propinqua adults, (2) environmental factors also have di erent impacts on the rate of individual variability of day and night movement activity, and (3) e ects of temperature and starvation on modi cations of day and night movement activity are also di erent. These results suggest that day and night movement activities of Ch. propinqua adults are determined by di erent physiological mechanisms.
