摘要: It is generally accepted that in most insects adults are sexually immature when they initiate migration and that migratory behaviour terminates with the onset of sexual maturation. However, a few studies examining the mating status of field collected moths have suggested that sexually mature individuals may continue migrating, but in these cases it was impossible to completely eliminate the possibility that the mated females captured came from local, non-migrant populations. In this study we examined the ovarian development of Mythimna separata females captured using a vertical pointing searchlight trap on Beihuang Island in the Bohai Gulf, China, a site >40 km from land. Moths were collected from May to October from 2003 to 2008 in order to test the hypothesis that the onset of sexual maturation resulted in the termination of migratory behaviour. While females at the end of the summer had little ovarian development and were unmated, a significant proportion of those migrating northward in the early summer had developed ovaries and often had at least one spermatophore. Given that theses insects were captured while flying up to 500 m above sea level, at a site with no local populations, the findings would not support the hypothesis and suggest that both ovarian development and mating may occur during migration.
