  1. 1. Investigation of sex-based differences in responses to artificial light of the greater waxmoth (Galleria mellonella)

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

    Author : Prasoon Singh; [2021]
    Keywords : Light pollution; Galleria mellonella; warm-white light; moths behaviour; attraction;

    Abstract : Artificial light at night (ALAN) is becoming a greater threat to nocturnal species. Aside from the overall increase in light output, replacing outdated monochromatic street lighting with light-emitting diode (LED) lights with a broad emission spectrum could raise this issue more.

  3. 2. Testing migratory Bogong moth (Agrotis infusa) in orientation experiments using an artificial representation of the Milky Way

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Julius Jansson; [2021]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : The Bogong Moth, Agrotis Infusa, is a migratory moth native to South-Eastern Australia. These nocturnal insects migrate over more than 1000 km from their breeding grounds to caves in the Australian alps. To find their way during this migration, individuals of the species use several compass cues, both magnetic and celestial. READ MORE

  4. 3. Standardization of the Compass Neuropils of the Australian Bogong Moth, Agrotis infusa

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Liv de Vries; [2016]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Every summer the Australian Bogong moth migrates from southern Queensland to the Australian Alps in southern New South Wales. Other migrants such as the monarch butterfly use a time-compensated sun compass. However, the Bogong is nocturnal and only has access to skylight cues such as the moon, polarized light or the Milky Way. READ MORE

  5. 4. Odour-mediated behaviour in codling moth, Cydia pomonella : do fermentation odours affect the attraction and oviposition behaviour in codling moth?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Lillemor Torstensdotter; [2015]
    Keywords : Cydia pomonella; codling moth; fermentation; apples;

    Abstract : The codling moth, Cydia pomonella is a common pest in apple orchards and can be found worldwide. Feeding by codling moth larvae can cause a substantial decrease in apple yield. Control methods comprise for example the use of pesticides, viruses and pheromones. READ MORE

  6. 5. Female mate choice and modulation of oviposition preference in the moth Spodoptera littoralis

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Amanda Karlström; [2013]
    Keywords : Spodoptera littoralis; female mate choice; precopulatory assessment; host plant; selection; oviposition; Aedes aegypti; experience;

    Abstract : In this thesis, two aspects of reproductive behaviour in the Egyptian cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis (Lepidoptera:Noctuidae) were studied. The first was whether female moths make a mate choice based on precopulatory assessments of male mating partners, and the second whether larval food plant experience of an ectoparasite modulates the female choice of oviposition site.
