“…Experimental elevation of the JH titer by topical application of hormone or hormone analogues increased long-duration flight in three phylogenetically distant insect species (Rankin et al 1986). Moreover, artificial selection for a delay in the onset of long-duration flight in the insect migrant, Oncopeltus fasciatus, resulted in a correlated delay in the rise in the adult JH titer (Rankin and Riddiford 1978).…”

“…Juvenile hormone (JH) is an insect hormone that regulates such diverse traits as the synthesis of yolk protein, uptake of this molecule into the developing egg, diapause, flight and reproductive behaviors, and developmental and reproductive features of phase, caste, and dispersal polymorphisms (Rankin 1978;Denlinger 1985;Pener 1985;Rankin et al 1986;Nijhout 1994Nijhout , 1999Trumbo et al 1995;Wyatt and Davey 1996;Strambi et al 1997;Zera and Denno 1997). In this study, we investigated the role of JH in regulating intraspecific variation in and tradeoffs between key life-history and dispersal traits in the wingpolymorphic cricket Gryllus firmus.…”

“…JH is thought to regulate many aspects of this trade-off (Pener 1985;Rankin et al 1986;Zera and Denno 1997;Zera et al 1998). However, few studies have directly measured correlations between the JH titer and aspects of dispersal and reproduction (e.g., flight propensity, development of wings and flight muscles, ovarian growth; Rankin and Riddiford 1978;Zera and Denno 1997).…”

The wing-polymorphic cricket, Gryllw firmus, contains ( 1 ) a flight-capable morph (LW,) with long wings and functional flight muscles, (2) a flightless morph with reduced wings and underdeveloped flight muscles (SW), and (3) a flightless morph with histolyzed flight muscles but with fully developed wings (LW,). The LW, morph differed genetically from the SW morph and phenotypically from the LW, morph in the size of flight muscles, ovarian growth during the first week of adulthood, and the hemolymph titer of juvenile hormone (JH). This is the first study to document that phenotypes that differ genetically in morphological aspects of dispersal capability and in ovarian growth also differ genetically in the titer of a hormone that potentially regulates those traits. The JH titer rose 9-100-fold during the photophase in the flight-capable LW, morph but did not change significantly during this time in either flightless morph. Prolonged elevation of the in vivo JH titer in flightcapable females, by topical application of a hormone analogue, caused a substantial increase in ovarian growth and histolysis of flight muscles. The short-term, diurnal rise in the JH titer in the dispersing morph may be a mechanism that allows JH to positively regulate nocturnal flight behavior, while not causing maladaptive histolysis of flight muscles and ovarian growth. This is the first demonstration of naturally occurring, genetically based variation for diurnal change in a hormone titer in any organism.

“…Two data points do not yield a trend, but the results from Oncopeltus and Tribolium at least encourage further comparisons. Observations of a genetic basis to migration, plus accompanying phenotypic evidence of syndromes involving migration and life history in some important agricultural pests such as grasshoppers (McAnelly, 1985;Rankin et al, 1986) and armyworm moths (Parker and Gatehouse, 1985;Gatehouse, 1986) should provide additional impetus for comparative analysis ofgenetic covariance relationships.…”

RESPONSES TO SELECTION AMONG LIFE‐HISTORY TRAITS IN A NONMIGRATORY POPULATION OF MILKWEED BUGS ( ONCOPELTUS FASCIATUS )

Abstract. -Genetic parameters were assessed in the nonmigratory Puerto Rico population of the milkweed bug, Oncopeltus fasciatus, and compared with parameters estimated in a migratory population from Iowa (Palmer and Dingle, 1986). Offspring-parent regression analysis provided initial estimates of heritabilities and phenotypic and genetic correlations among wing length, headcapsule width, female age at first reproduction, fecundity for the first and second five days of reproduction by females, and clutch size for the first and second five days of reproduction by females. Replicated bidirectional selection for wing length was then imposed, with a direct response to selection revealing substantial additive genetic variance for this trait, as was also the case with the Iowa population. Assays for correlated response to selection yielded two further similarities to Iowa: a positive response in head-capsule width and no consistent response in age at first reproduction. In contrast to the results with Iowa bugs, neither regression analysis nor selection revealed statistically significant genetic correlations between fecundity measures and those of other traits. In both populations the potential exists for body-size characters to evolve together independently ofage at first reproduction; but in the nonmigratory Puerto Rico bugs, fecundity does not contribute to a life-history syndrome involving genetic correlations among these traits.

“…The cost is usually manifested, especially in wing dimorphic species, as decreased reproductive output caused by a prolonged pre-oviposition period, decreased longevity, and decreased lifetime egg production (Dingle and Arora, 1973;Walters and Dixon, 1983;Roff, 1984;Zera, 1984;Zera and Mole, 1994). Physiological management of the migration-reproduction trade-off often includes a package of adaptations referred to as the oogenesis-flight syndrome, which was taken for many years as a fundamental trait of insect migrants (Johnson, 1969;Rankin et al, 1986Rankin et al, , 1994Colvin and Gatehouse, 1993;Keil et al, 2001;Gu et al, 2006;Lorenz, 2007). The syndrome describes a pattern in which the flight apparatus develops soon after eclosion to support migratory flight, migratory flight is initiated during the adult prereproductive stage when ovarian development and mating behavior are suppressed, and females switch to egg development and oviposition activity rapidly after termination of migration.…”

The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, undertakes long-distance migration. We used flight mills to investigate the interaction between flight and reproduction in this species given the apparent absence of the oogenesis-flight syndrome. This syndrome, common in many migratory insects, is characterized by a suite of traits including migration during the pre-oviposition period followed by a switch to oogenesis. No negative effects of inter-ovipositional flight on lifetime fecundity were observed. Instead, adult reproductive output suffered when female flight was initiated the first day after eclosion and before oviposition, suggesting that migratory flight overlaps with the oviposition period rather than being confined to the pre-oviposition period. Mating status of both females and males had no negative influence on their flight performance except that flight distance and flight duration of 7-day-old mated females were significantly less than in unmated females. Furthermore, the number of eggs produced and mating frequency of females less than 7 days of age were not significantly correlated with flight performance, suggesting reproductive development paralleled and was independent of migratory behavior. This independent relationship between flight and reproduction of adults is consistent with the very short pre-oviposition period in this species, and suggests that resources are partitioned between these activities during pupal development. Together, our results uncovered neither obvious trade-offs nor mutual suppression between flight and reproduction in S. exigua, which indicates the lack of an oogenesis-flight syndrome for coordination of these two energy-intensive processes. We propose a conceptual model of migration for this species based on the current and previous studies.
