The ambrosia beetlePlatypus quercivorus(Coleoptera: Platypodidae) is a vector of the pathogenic fungi,Raffaelea quercivora(Ophiostomatales: Ophiostomataceae), which causes Japanese oak wilt disease. Previous studies have shown that the beetle displays positive phototactic behavior; however, the adaptive significance of this behavior remains unclear. We postulated that positive phototaxis is necessary to allow the beetle to fly skyward immediately after emergence from a tree, and that this taxis changes following a certain period of flight. The present study aimed to clarify the changes in phototactic behavior ofP. quercivorusbefore and after flight by using individual beetles emerging from the trunk of aQuercus crispula(Fagales: Fagaceae) tree that was attacked in 2014. The response of 60 beetles to light was tested ten times each, before and after flight in a flight mill. A generalized linear mixed model was constructed to predict the probability of positive phototaxis ofP. quercivorusbefore and after flight. A best-fit model showed that the probability of positive phototaxis was lower after flight than before. The results suggest that positive phototaxis ofP. quercivorusis decreased after flight.
