Dispersal represents a key life-history trait with several implications for the fitness of
organisms, population dynamics and resilience, local adaptation, meta-population …

Publisher Summary This chapter summarizes the conceptual framework that distinguishes
migration from other types of movement, and briefly outlines some of the methodologies …

With up to a quarter of all insect species heading towards extinction over the next few
decades, there is now a pressing need to summarize the techniques available for measuring …

For the first time, the flight paths of five butterfly species were successfully tracked using
harmonic radar within an agricultural landscape. Until now, butterfly mobility has been …

Apart from downstream dispersal through invertebrate drift, few quantitative data are
available to model the dispersal of stream invertebrates, ie the outward spreading of animals …

Insects account for a large portion of Earth's biodiversity and are key players for ecosystems,
notably as pollinators. While insect migration is suspected to represent a natural …

Larval dispersal either through ballooning or crawling results in a redistribution of the insect
population and infestations within and between plants. In addition, invasive species, such as …

Day and night sampling of windborne arthropods at a height of 200 m above ground was
undertaken at Cardington, Bedfordshire, UK, during July 1999, 2000 and 2002, using a net …

Many species are responding to global climate change by shifting their ranges poleward in
latitude or upward in elevation. We analyze an integrodifference equation that combines …

Due to increasing problems occurring from massive applications of pesticides, such as
insect resistance to pesticides, the use of biotechnological tools to minimize losses from …
