Overview

Field and laboratory experiments show that mating status affects light capture in moths, indicating hormonal roles.

Key Points

  • Mated females exhibit significantly higher light capture rates than unmated ones, particularly in the first 2 hours.
  • Increased locomotor activity in mated females correlates with higher light capture rates, enhancing trapping efficiency.
  • Transcriptomic analyses reveal upregulation of juvenile hormone-inducible genes in mated and light-trapped females.
  • Applying juvenile hormone analogs to unmated females elevates locomotor activity, linking hormones to behavioral changes.
