Journal ArticleDOI
Weather, behaviour and insect dispersal
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of individual meteorological factors, such as temperature and wind, directly influence the dispersal of arthropods, as do weather systems such as formation and movement of air masses, cold and warm fronts, and air flows associated with topographical features such as mountains, valleys, bodies of water.

Trans-regional Migration of Agrotis ipsilon (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in North-East Asia
TL;DR: The results of ovarian dissection indicated that the ovarian developmental level, the proportion of sexually mature females, mating rate, mating frequency, and sex ratio decreased from spring to autumn, and some degrees of ovarian development and relatively higher proportion of mated females suggest that A. ipsilon is not completely bound by “oogenesis-flight syndrome” and “autumn reproductive diapause.

Direction of Insect Migrations in Relation to the Wind
TL;DR: In this article, Mikkola and Salmensuu studied the role of wind as a factor affecting the direction of insect migrations and found that even an individual species may use different migration and orientation mechanisms under different situations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oosorption and migratory strategy of the milkweed bug, Oncopeltus fasciatus
TL;DR: This study provides support for a physiological difference between migrant and resident females and suggests the presence of both physiological and behavioural tactics that interact with the potential for migration to provide adaptation to seasonally challenging environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Migration in aphids: response to current adversity.
TL;DR: The sycamore aphid, which is a tree dwelling aphid and therefore occupies a permanent habitat5, does not show the same degree of polymorphism as polyphagous aphids, and could be regarded as an exception to this hypothesis, which has been developed to explain migratory activity in aphids occupying temporary habitats.

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.
