Monitoring of lepidopterous insect migrations using the migration trap.

Japanese journal of applied entomology and zoology, 1987
本調査では,マイグレーション・トラップを用いて鱗翅目昆虫移動の調査を行った。イチモンジセセリの移動を奈良県葛城山で調査した。イチモンジセセリの捕獲は,多くの観察例から予測されたように,明らかに南西方向への飛翔に有意な片寄りがみられた。移動個体数は0.12∼0.43匹/m2/時程度であると推定された。鱗翅目昆虫一般を対象として,岡山市近郊の3地点(岡山大学附属農場,津高牧場,半田山演習林)に定期的に東西,南北両方向にトラップを設置して調査した。全体で82種の鱗翅目昆虫が捕獲された。捕獲された昆虫のうち,個体数が多く飛翔方向に有意な片寄りがみられた種は,コブノメイガ,スジキリヨトウ,シロオビノメイガ,アワノメイガ,フタテンヒメヨトウ,アワヨトウの6種であった ...

Visual ecology of aphids – a critical review on the role of colours in host finding [PDF]

, 2007
We review the rich literature on behavioural responses of aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) to stimuli of different colours. Only in one species there are adequate physiological data on spectral sensitivity to explain behaviour crisply in mechanistic terms.
