Climate change threatens the reproductive of insects

Ecology and Evolution ( ecology and Evolution) showed that rising temperatures affect the color and reproductive ability of insects with the effect of climate change. According to the study carried out by Herberstein and its team, it is varied according to the types of insects that color will change. But if insects can’t adapt to color changes, climate change may result in the absence of insect populations, which depend on the color of reproductive activities.

Dark colored insects are more successful than bright colored insects in finding a partner in cold weather. In the early morning, brunette male insects that can warm more quickly yet start looking for the partner trying to warm other insects. This is because it is faster warming by emphasizing the heat of dark-colored objects, reflecting the beam from light colors and slower warming. However, scientists say that increased temperatures are caused by the evolution of pigments that regulate the color tones of insects to less. So insects become increasingly lighter colorful and bright. For example, a study conducted in 2016 showed that the bright yellow color wings of sulfur butterflies in Mead, located in North American mountains due to increased temperatures. According to a different study, between the 1980-2000, two-pins left the black needles of the insects. Dark spots on the backs of leaf beetles were also gradually decreased. [

But Herberstein and his team showed that the relationship between temperatures and insect colors is not so clear. The color of some types can be darkened when opening. A different study reviewing butterfly types between 1953-2013 found that butterflies become increasingly dense and darker than pale yellow colors. A different research conducted in 2018 showed that baston bugs are more darker with the influence of temperatures. Tonmoy Haque from the writers of the research said “It’s not so clear and confusing.” This mess is explained by the fact that the melanin color to insects is also immune protection and the effects of ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

Activating and reproductive activities
Although the colors become clear, camouflage and reproductive activities of animals are affected by increased temperatures. For example, the color changes caused by increased temperatures can change vital abilities of the species that know each other from their colors. The science people who pay attention to the importance of the species of which are affected by the reproductive mechanisms of insects say that how to fight insects with climate change is not yet clear.
NASA experts warn other types of changes in the variety of insects, ecosystems and food assurance will also affect negatively. However, the detection of insect colors and reproductive effects of the temperature can help to determine the species under high risk and fight against biological diversity loss.
