Abstract | Take-off behavior is crucial to the overall success of insect migration. Although most high-altitude migratory flights commence with mass take-offs around dusk and dawn, little is known about nighttime take-off behavior. The take-off behavior of migratory Sogatella furcifera was investigated in field cages from 2017 to 2019. The species showed a bimodal take-off pattern at dusk and dawn on rainless nights, with mass flight at dusk more intense than dawn flight. However, a higher frequency of take-offs during the nighttime was observed on rainy nights, resulting in the absence of dawn take-offs. Most migratory take-off individuals at dusk and dawn landed on the cage top or the walls above 150 cm, while non-migratory individuals that took off during the nighttime due to rainfall mainly landed on the cage walls below 150 cm. Furthermore, it has been observed that migratory take-off individuals possess stronger sustained flight capabilities and exhibit more immature ovaries compared with non-migratory take-offs. These findings advance our understanding of the take-off behavior of S. furcifera and thus provide a basis for the accurate prediction and management of the migratory dynamics of this pest. |
