“…Genetic differences in wing morph expression have been found in many different taxa of insects (Roff 1986(Roff , 1990(Roff , 1997. Also in N. lugens, a great genetic variation in the relationship between wing form and population density has been reported in samples collected in the fields, ranging from highly macropterous to extremely brachypterous, with those in wing form appearing to be related to population density to varying extents (Nagata and Masuda 1980;Iwanaga et al 1985Iwanaga et al , 1987Morooka et al 1988; Morooka and Tojo 1992). A similar variation of body color in response to population density was also found in the field (Morooka et al 1988).…”

Developmental times were compared among four pure lines of wing-dimorphic Nilaparvata lugens generated by successive selections for the following designated characteristics: blackish short-winged (BS), blackish long-winged (BL), yellowish brown short-winged (YS) and yellowish brown long-winged (YL). When the nymphs were reared on rice seedlings at low density, the developmental time was in the order of BS = BL \ Y-S = YL, while with an increase in rearing density, the time lengthened markedly in long-winged lines but only slightly in short-winged lines, rearranging the order to BS \ BL = YS \ YL. Among F 1 progeny of BS 9 YL, the developmental time in short-winged phenotypes was the same as those of BS lines at any of the densities tested, but the long-winged phenotypes emerged as adults at intermediate time between BS and YL lines at high density. This method of inheritance of developmental time and the differences in the duration observed among the four pure lines suggest that the genes regulating wing form and body color expression are also involved in the regulation of developmental time.

“…They found that Japanese BPH populations produce higher proportion of female macropters compared to tropical population (Thailand and Philippine), which dominates brachypters at same rearing densities. Iwanaga et al (1985Iwanaga et al ( , 1987 reported that majority of the populations collected from various locations of Japan and coastal areas of China produced more female macropters as compared to the populations collected in tropical Philippine, Indonesia, and Malaysia. However, they found that a few populations in Japan exhibited a similar trend of the wing-form production as tropical populations.…”

“…If we collected more N. lugens populations in East Asia, we would probably find wider variations of pre‐ovipositional period. In fact, Iwanaga et al. (1985, 1987) reported great variations of wing polymorphism associated with rearing densities among N. lugens populations collected in East Asia, although most populations exhibited higher ratios of macropters, as compared with those collected in South Asian.…”

“…(1987) observed that flight activity is restricted to a short period at dusk and dawn, and that migration distance is generally less than a few tens of kilometers. Additionally, in rearing tests with various insect densities, tropical N. lugens produces generally fewer macropters than N. lugens collected in Japan (Nagata and Masuda 1980; Iwanaga et al. 1987).…”

We investigated the pre-ovipositional period of Nilaparvata lugens originating from tropical, subtropical and temperate regions of East and Southeast Asia using laboratory experiments to compare the migration capability of the populations. Macropter females collected in 1992 from Japan and subtropical North Vietnam had a longer immature period than those from tropical Indochina Peninsula, i.e. the day of the first oviposition after eclosion was about 3 days later in the former populations. Populations collected in 1993 and 1994 from Japan, Central and South China, and North Vietnam also had a longer immature period than that of the tropical Malaysian population. Thus, a general trend was demonstrated that macropters originating in temperate and subtropical East Asia had a longer pre-ovipositional period, which is presumably beneficial for pre-reproductive long-distance migration. This finding supports a current hypothesis for the migration system of N. lugens existing in East Asia, which has maintained the capability of longdistance migration throughout years in spite of the disadvantage of prolonged oviposition for multiplication.
