Female light capture is shaped by juvenile hormone‐mediated post‐mating behavior in the diamondback moth
These findings demonstrate that post-mating hormonal changes enhance female mobility, which subsequently increases their capture in light traps, establishing a mechanistic link between reproductive status and behavior. Our research highlights how hormonal regulation influences ecologically significant behaviors and may contribute to the development of strategies for monitoring and controlling nocturnal insect pests. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
