“…Diapause or dormancy generally occurs at a very specific stage of the life cycle, and during only one of the annual generations of multivoltine species. The general characteristics of arthropod diapause are reviewed by Lees (1955), Adkisson (1964), Danilevskii (1965), and Beck (1968). Dormancy, like seasonal polyphenisms, is generally under either temperature or photoperiodic control or some combination of the two.…”

“…Apart from the widely known diapause phenomenon [4, 5], photoperiod influences various behaviors such as egg hatching, flight, locomotion, feeding, courtship, and mating [6, 7]. For instance, walking, foraging, and oviposition of Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande are increased with increasing time of illumination but reduced in continuous darkness [8].…”

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

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.

“…In temperate countries, the best adaptative strategy of insects for tolerating the adverse conditions of the cold season is probably the diapause (Lees, 1955;Adkisson, 1964;Danilevskii, 1965;Beck, 1968). However many polyvoltine species, often of economic importance (flies, mosquitoes, etc.…”

Drosophila melanogaster larvae were reared at various constant temperatures ranging from 12° C to 32° C and adults were transferred at the usual temperature of 25° after emergence. Daily egg production and egg hatchability were measured for the whole lifetime. The adults, of the same average genotype and kept in identical conditions, showed considerable variation in reproductive capacity. For adults grown at an optimum temperature (21° or 25°) the number of offspring produced was about 2500; this number dropped below 500 when development took place either at a lower or higher temperature. Several physiological changes explain these deleterious effects: male sterility at low or high temperature, variation in ovariole number, and in rates of oogenesis and senescence. Only the male sterility was cured by the return to 25°; all the other modifications were permanent. The significance of this epigenetic load in the life strategy of the species is discussed.
