Spectral sensitivity transition in the compound eyes of a twilight-swarming mayfly and its visual ecological implications

Adam Egri et al.

Summary: Aquatic insect species that leave the water after larval development face different visual environments in their different life stages. This study focuses on the spectral sensitivity of the compound eyes of the mayfly species Ephoron virgo, and found differences between the sensitivity of adults and larvae. The study suggests that the spectral sensitivity of both the larval and adult eyes are adapted to the optical environment of the corresponding life stages.

The Effect of Electric Bridge Lighting at Night on Mayfly Activity

Dorukalp Durmus et al.

Summary: Aquatic insects like mayflies are attracted to electric lighting on bridges at night due to their phototactic and polarotactic behaviors. Research shows that mayflies are more attracted to ultraviolet radiation, blue and green light, and polarized light, while shielding and correlated color temperature have minimal effects on reducing their attraction. Future studies should focus on investigating the impact of radiant intensity and timing on mayfly activity to develop effective lighting strategies for reducing their presence on bridges.

Spectral optimization of beacon lights for the protection of night-swarming mayflies

Adam Meszaros et al.

Summary: The negative ecological effects of artificial night-time illumination on wildlife, particularly the flight-to-light behavior of insects, are widely investigated. White beacon lights can keep mayfly swarms above the water surface, benefiting offspring of protected species and maintaining traffic safety on bridges. Research has shown that mayflies are more attracted to lamp types emitting light rich in short wavelengths compared to those with longer-wavelength-dominated emission spectra.

Impact of Different Wavelengths of Artificial Light at Night on Phototaxis in Aquatic Insects

Judith L. Kuhne et al.

Summary: The use of artificial light at night is increasing globally and impacting insect populations. While flying insects are highly attracted to short-wavelength light sources, aquatic insects show a different preference for green/yellow light. This highlights the need to consider different spectral sensitivities of insects when planning lighting near freshwater habitats.

In search of the spectral composition of an effective light trap for the mushroom pest Lycoriella ingenua (Diptera: Sciaridae)

Sandor Kecskemeti et al.

Summary: Fungus gnats like Lycoriella ingenua show strong attraction to both UV and green light, suggesting the use of both UV (around 370-398 nm) and green light (around 526 nm) in traps to capture these insects effectively.
