Journal ArticleDOI
Habitat structure and egg distributions in the processionary caterpillar Ochrogaster lunifer: lessons for conservation and pest management
TL;DR: It is predicted that diverse habitats with mixed plant species should increase insect aggregation and increase population stability and intercropping can be highly effective in reducing pest outbreaks, although the economic gains of reduced pest attack may be outweighed by reduced crop yields in mixed-crop systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial distribution and habitat preference of the endangered tarantula, Brachypelma klaasi (Araneae: Theraphosidae) in Mexico
Martha Yanez,Graham J. Floater +1 more
TL;DR: An analysis of population distribution and micro-habitat requirements of B. klaasi over different spatial scales within the biological reserve at Chamela, Jalisco as part of a wider ecological study of the endangered Brachypelma group is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rainfall, nitrogen and host plant condition: consequences for the processionary caterpillar, Ochrogaster lunifer
TL;DR: Field surveys at ten localities in south‐east Queensland showed that larval survival was highly variable both among and within localities, and within‐locality variation in larval growth was low compared with variation among localities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Habitat complexity, spatial interference, and “minimum risk distribution”: a framework for population stability
TL;DR: The crucial role of spatial variability itself on the stability of insect populations is discussed, with indices of habitat complexity used to provide highly accurate predictions of spatial divergence from the minimum risk distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life History Comparisons of Ground- and Canopy-Nesting populations of Ochrogaster lunifer Herrich-Schäffer (Lepidoptera: Thaumetopoeidae): Evidence for Two Species?
TL;DR: Differences in habitat and geographical distribution; host plant range; number of instars; size and colour of final instar; size of adult female; oviposition site and larval behaviour provide further evidence for the existence of two species of Ochrogaster lunifer.
