Local and neighboring patch conditions alter sex‐specific movement in banana weevils [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2015
AbstractUnderstanding the mechanisms underlying the movements and spread of a species over time and space is a major concern of ecology. Here, we assessed the effects of an individual's sex and the density and sex ratio of conspecifics in the local and neighboring environment on the movement probability of the banana weevil,Cosmopolites sordidus. In a “
