Journal ArticleDOI
The estimation of the dispersal rate of the adult cabbage root fly (erioischia brassicae (bouche)) in the presence of a brassica crop
TL;DR: The assessment of the dispersal rate of a gene for resistance is an indirect method of measuring the disperseal of a wild population of flies and such estimates may be influenced by interfering factors such as the densities of populations in the area under study and the relative fitness of the strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of Insect Wings and Flight
TL;DR: Sir Vincent Wiggles-worth gives evidence that the thoracic styli were perhaps the precursors of insect wings, and describes a theory of the origin of insect flight.

New evidence on the migration of moths of the African armyworm, Spodoptera exempta (Wlk.) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae)
E. S. Brown,G. Swaine +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the adult stage of the African armyworm S. exempta (Wlk) is migratory, probably on an extensive scale, and that it therefore has an important bearing on the occurrence and distribution of outbreaks of the larvae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship of flight and reproduction in beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), a migrant lacking the oogenesis-flight syndrome
TL;DR: The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, undertakes long-distance migration and a conceptual model of migration is proposed based on the current and previous studies, which indicates the lack of an oogenesis-flight syndrome for coordination of these two energy-intensive processes.

Studies on the Feeding and Nutrition of Tuberolachnus Salignus (Gmelin) (Homoptera, Aphididae)
TL;DR: In this paper, the sugar and nitrogen composition of the phloem sieve-tube sap ingested by Tuberolachnus salignus (Gmelin) feeding on Salix acutifolia stems, and the honeydew excreted by the aphids was investigated.
