Evidence for facultative migratory flight behavior in Helicoverpa armigera (Noctuidae: Lepidoptera) in India. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Despite its deleterious impact on farming and agriculture, the physiology and energetics of insect migration is poorly understood due to our inability to track their individual movements in the field. Many insects, e.g.

Flight performance and the factors affecting the flight behaviour of Philaenus spumarius the main vector of Xylella fastidiosa in Europe [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 The recent emergence of Xylella fastidiosa in Europe is a major threat to agriculture, including olive, almond and grape. Philaenus spumarius is the predominant vector of X. fastidiosa in Europe.

Speed control and force-vectoring of blue bottle flies in a magnetically-levitated flight mill [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2018 Flies fly at a broad range of speeds and produce sophisticated aerial maneuvers with precisely controlled wing movements. Remarkably, only subtle changes in wing motion are used by flies to produce aerial maneuvers, resulting in little directional tilt of aerodynamic force vector relative to the body.

Applied Entomology and Zoology, 2004 The effects of temperature, age and mating status on the flight activity of Carposina sasakii were examined using a flight mill system. Flight measurements were carried out for 24 h under dark conditions. No significant difference was observed for the total flight duration of 2-day-old moths at temperatures between 14 and 26°C.

Assessing Insect Flight Behavior in the Laboratory: A Primer on Flight Mill Methodology and What Can Be Learned [PDF]
Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 2019 Dispersal is a key component in the population ecology and dynamics of insects and remains one of the most difficult and intractable ecological processes to study in the field. As a consequence, many researchers have looked to laboratory methods for investigating the myriad factors that govern and impact an insect’s ability to move within its ...

In‐flight force estimation by flight mill calibration
Physiological Entomology, 2023 Abstract The study of insect flight is important for conservation and sustainability efforts, as predicting insect dispersal can aid management programmes in tackling economic and ecological harm from, for example, invasive species.

Identification of genes and gene expression associated with dispersal capacity in the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Dispersal flights by the mountain pine beetle have allowed range expansion and major damage to pine stands in western Canada. We asked what the genetic and transcriptional basis of mountain pine beetle dispersal capacity is.
