KEENA 2,3 Ann. Entomol. So. Am. 108(4): (2015); DOI: /es/sv045 ABSTRACT All mle gypsy moths, Lymntri dispr L., re ple of strong direted flight, ut flight in femles vries, inresing from west to est geogrphilly ross Eursi. To etter understnd how the wings differ etween femle flight ple nd flightless strins, wing morphometri nlysis of 821 gypsy moths from eight geogrphi strins (three Lymntri dispr dispr L., four Lymntri dispr siti Vnukovskij, one Lymntri dispr jponi Motshulsky) ws performed. Body mss; length nd width of oth fore- nd hindwing; nd wing re, spet, nd lods were mesured on oth sexes from eh strin. Gypsy moths were sexully dimorphi; femles hd higher wing lod, lrger spet rtios, igger wing re, nd hevier ody mss thn mles. Wing lods of femles, ut not mles, differed signifintly mong geogrphi strins nd were lower in flight ple strins. Wing spet ws less vrile within eh sex mong the strins. Femle fore- nd hindwing re were oth lrger in strins with strong direted flight pilities ompred with flightless strins, suggesting oth fore- nd hindwing res ply signifint roles in flight. A logisti regression model using femle forewing length nd wing lod orretly predited the femle flight pility of the soure strins >97% of the time nd my e useful tool to use in onjuntion with moleulr methods for deteting introdutions of Asin gypsy moth. None of the mle morphometri wing hrters were found to relily predit the femle flight pility of the soure popultion. KEY WORDS gypsy moth, wing morphology, flight pility, Ereide Gypsy moth is one of the most serious defoliting forest pests, ple of widespred outreks in temperte Holrti regions (Dvidson et l. 2001, Orozumekov et l. 2009). The gypsy moth, Lymntri dispr L., hs three reognized suspeies, Lymntri dispr dispr L. lled the Europen gypsy moth, Lymntri dispr siti Vnukovskij lled the Asin gypsy moth, nd Lymntri dispr jponi Motshulsky lled the Jpnese gypsy moth (Pogue nd Shefer 2007). Asin gypsy moth is distriuted in Asi est of the Url Mountins, widely in Russi, Chin, Jpn, nd Kore. Jpnese gypsy moth is distriuted on ll min islnds in Jpn, ut only in limited re on Hokkido (Keen et l. 2008). Europen gypsy moth ws originlly found in Europe, ws identlly introdued into North Ameri in 1869 (Forush nd Fernld 1896), nd hs sine spred with the leding edge of the infesttion rehing Mine, Minnesot, Wisonsin, Illinois, The use of trde, firm, or orportion nmes in this pulition is for the informtion nd onveniene of the reder.

The infesttion of Europen gypsy moth in the estern United Sttes is too well estlished to erdite, ut mesures to slow the spred nd ontrol lol outreks re eing tken (Toin 2008). Asin gypsy moth is onsidered to pose more signifint thret glolly, owing to its preferene for roder rnge of host speies (Brnhikov 1989), shortened egg hill requirements (Keen 1996, Wei et l. 2014), nd the flight pility of femles (Keen et l. 2008). However, femle gypsy moths ple of strong direted flight were lso found outside of Asi nd Sieri in the northestern prt of Europe, nd Jpnese gypsy moth femles lso re ple of flight (Keen et l. 2008). Flying femle gypsy moths re ttrted to lights in port res nd their egg msses hve een interepted in North Ameri on ships nd their rgo (U.S. Deprtment of Agriulture Animl nd Plnt Helth Inspetion Servie Plnt Protetion nd Qurntine [USDA-APHIS-PPQ] 2014). To prevent introdutions of flight ple femle gypsy moths from Asi, interntionl ollortions hve een set up to monitor port res nd ertify ships leving these ports during moth flights re free of egg msses (USDA-APHIS-PPQ 2014). Pheromone trps re used in North Ameri to monitor round ports for introdutions nd to delimit estlished popultions so they n e erdited.

2 July 2015 SHI ET AL.: ASIAN GYPSY MOTH WINGS 529 refers to ny iotype of L. dispr possessing femle flight pility s the Asin gypsy moth, ut in this rtile, only the L. dispr siti suspeies will e lled Asin gypsy moth. Moleulr methods re used to determine the origin of mle gypsy moths ught in pheromone trps, s relile morphologil hrters re lking, ut no dequte methods urrently exist tht n predit the femle flight pility of the soure popultion (Keen et l. 2008). Intrspeifi polymorphisms in wing length, flight musles, flight ehvior, or ll hve een shown to exist etween dispersing nd nondispersing inset individuls (Hrrison 1980). In femle gypsy moths the two iotypes (flight ple nd flightless) hve een shown to differ in wing size, size of flight musles, nd preflight ehviors (Shields et l 1997; Keen et l. 2001, 2008). Previous studies of gypsy moths hve suessfully used disriminte nlysis to lssify femles sed on wing size (forewing length nd hindwing width) nd segregte for ody mss (mximum dominl width) into three flight pility groups (flightless, flight ple, or F 1 ) tht exhiit gliding-type flight (Keen et l. 2008). No nlysis of wing shpe (spet rtio) or wing loding (ody mss divided y totl wing re) hs een done for gypsy moth femles. Wing shpe hs een shown to hve lrge impt on the flight performne in other Lepidopter; longer slender wings hve een ssoited with long-durtion flight nd short rod wings with slow or more gile flight (Betts nd Wootton 1988, DeVries et l. 2010). As wings re omplex strutures, wing shpe nd size do not neessrily sle proportionlly with ody size, so oth need to e evluted independently (Outomuro et l. 2013). In ddition, there hs een little done to evlute the mle gypsy moths from the three suspeies to determine if there re ny mle trits tht re orrelted with the femle flight pility of the soure popultion. For exmple, it might e possile tht mles from popultions with femles ple of flight hve longer wings thn those from popultions with flightless femles if the inheritne of the trit is purely utosoml. In this study, morphometri pproh ws utilized to ssess vrition in wing shpe nd size for oth mle nd femle gypsy moths mong eight geogrphi popultions (two Europen gypsy moths, one Jpnese gypsy moths, nd five Asin gypsy moths) tht vry in femle flight pility. This morphometri informtion ws then used to determine if there re femle, mle, or oth hrters tht ould e used to relily distinguish etween popultions with nd without femles ple of sustined flight. Mterils nd Methods Gypsy Moth Strins nd Rering. We nlyzed 821 speimens (37 73 individuls of eh sex from eh strin) of L. dispr soured from eight sites: two sites in Chin, one site in Jpn, two sites in Russi, two sites in Europe, nd one site in the United Sttes. Detils of eh of the eight strins re given in Tle 1. Bsed on the reent review of Lymntri (Pogue nd Shefer 2007), the JN strin is the jponi suspeies, ll Russin nd Chinese strins re the siti suspeies, nd ll remining strins should e the dispr suspeies. All gypsy moths were trnsported under permit to the Forest Servie qurntine fility in Ansoni, CT. Vouher speimens for eh strin were deposited t the Entomology Division, Yle Peody Museum of Nturl History, New Hven, CT.

Moths were then frozen for 24 h efore the right fore- nd hindwings were refully removed from eh individul t the wing se using fine foreps nd sissors. The two wings from n individul were then seured to fom ord using inset pins prior to tking mesurements. Using digitl liper, the following mesurements were tken: forewing length, forewing width, hindwing length, nd hindwing width. The wing lndmrks used for eh mesurement were s follows: forewing length ws from se of the ostl vein to the tip of the pil ngle (pproximtely the pil end of the fourth rdil rnh); forewing width ws from the pil end of the third rdil rnh to the nl mrgin ( line pproximtely prllel to the ody); hindwing length ws from the se of the uitl vein to the pil end of the third medil rnh; nd hindwing width ws from the pil end of the suostl vein to the nl end of the third nl rnh (Fig. 1).

The digitl imges were leled with individul numer, sex, nd soure popultion. The wing re ws determined using the softwre IMAGEJ 1.47 (Ferreir nd Rsnd 2012). The imges were first onverted to inry nd the kground olor ws deleted to leve white spe round the lk wing imge (Fig. 1). The outline of the imge ws defined to eliminte minor dmge to the mrgin of the wings. With the ruler of known sle, the pixels per mm ws lirted using the sle on the ruler in the imge nd then forewing nd hindwing re ws otined. The totl wing re ws lulted s twie the mesured right forewing nd hindwing res omined. Wing spet rtios were lulted s the squre of forewing length, divided y the forewing re.

The fit of eh dt set to vrious distriutions ws evluted using PROC UNIVARIATE (SAS Institute 1999, Cry, NC). The Shpiro Wilk nd the Anderson Drling test were used to ssess normlity. However, in ses where no distriution met the normlity ssumption, the distriution tht gve the est fit sed on the Kolmogorov Smirnov test ws used. The following dependent ontinuous vriles were nlyzed in PROC GLIM- MIX (SAS Institute 1999): wing lod, forewing spet, hindwing spet, totl wing re, forewing re, hindwing re, ody mss, forewing length, forewing width, hindwing length, nd hindwing width. A ompletely rndomized design ws used with geogrphil strin s the fixed effet nd the mternl fmily (egg mss) s the rndom effet. The norml distriution with n identity link ws used for the hindwing spet, forewing re, hindwing re, forewing length, forewing width, hindwing length, nd hindwing width. The gmm distriution with log link funtion ws used for the wing lod, wing spet, totl wing re, nd ody mss.

This is onsistent with the dignosti femle forewing lengths for the two suspeies, L. d. siti mm nd L. d. dispr mm (Pogue nd Shefer 2007). Additionlly, the femles from the strins within the siti suspeies hve longer hindwings thn the femles from the dispr suspeies, whih suggests tht oth wings ply signifint roles in flight pility. This is different from the finding tht only forewings re relted to dispersl in Melite inxi (L.), nother lepidoptern (Breuker et l. 2007). The logisti regression model using femle forewing length nd wing loding orretly predited the femle flight pility of the soure strins >97% of the time, whih ws etter thn just using femle forewing length lone. In ft, some femles from some of the Asin strins should not e predited to e ple of flight euse flight pility is not fixed (some individuls with only gliding-type flight) in ny of the popultions tht were evluted (Keen et l. 2008). This model ould e useful tool (if live femles re ville so fresh weights n e otined) to use in onjuntion with the moleulr methods to predit the flight pility of femles in the soure popultion. This would e espeilly useful if the moleulr methods suggest the soure popultion is from Europe euse mny Europen popultions hve only flightless femles, while others, like the LJ strin, n hve >70% of the femles tht n fly. Even though ll mles fly, mles from the Fr Est Asin popultions (femles fly) tended to hve lrger wings thn those from Europe (some femles n fly) or North Ameri (femles don t fly) when rered in ommon environment. However, the logisti regression model sed on mle forewing length ( signifint preditor of femle flight) inorretly predited the femle flight pility of the soure strin frequently (up to 67% in the LJ strin) nd so n not e relily used. Previous studies demonstrted tht flight pility of femle gypsy moth hs heritility of 0.60 nd forewing length hs heritility of 0.70, oth with no evidene of sex linkge or mternl effets (Keen et l. 2007). This would suggest tht the genes for ritil flight hrteristis suh s wing length re most likely loted on the utosomes rther thn mitohondril DNA or the sex hromosomes. Mle moths, ll of whih n fly, did not seprte relily into groups sed on the femle flight pility of the strins, suggesting tht there hs to e one or more genes on the W hromosome (femles re the heterogeneti sex in Lepidopter) tht diretly regulte flight genes in femles or indiretly regulte it y oding for sexully dimorphi ody msses. Further reserh to identify the genes involved in flight is needed to determine extly how flight is regulted in the two sexes. Aknowledgments We thnk P. Gri, P. Moore, nd A.
