Sexual differences in the flight performance of the oriental fruit moth, Cydia molesta

TL;DR: The data suggest that a limited proportion of the population, in particular females, may have the capacity to make inter‐orchard flights, and the relationship between female flight and reproduction is examined.

Migration, Diapause, and Direct Development as Alternative Life Histories in a Seed Bug, Neacoryphus bicrucis

TL;DR: Nature is variable in space and time, and insects as well as other organisms are presumably adapted to cope with various degrees of environmental change, resulting in communities and ecosystems of different qualities.

Food- and density-dependent dispersal : Evidence from a soil collembolan

TL;DR: Enriching the soil patch with a favoured food item, the fungal species Mortierella isabellina, increased dispersal rate by more than four times in a mor soil, suggesting that fungal odour can attract collembolans from a large distance and enhance their rate of movement more than a three-fold increase of their population density does.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epidemiology of Maize Streak Disease

TL;DR: The epidemiology of maize streak disease is largely an expre,ssion of the biology, phenology, and dispersal behavior of Cicadulina species in relationship to the virus and its hosts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Schooling and migration of large pelagic fishes relative to environmental cues

TL;DR: In this paper, a kinesis model driven by high-resolution sea surface temperature maps is used to simulate Atlantic bluefin tuna movements in the Gulf of Maine during summer months.

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.
