Sex specificity of dispersal behaviour and flight morphology varies among tree hollow beetle species

Movement Ecology, 2022
Background Flight performance and dispersal behaviour can differ between sexes, resulting in sex-biased dispersal. The primary sex ratio of populations may also explain dispersal bias between sexes, as this bias may evolve with the primary sex ratio to ...

Differences in the Aerobic Capacity of Flight Muscles between Butterfly Populations and Species with Dissimilar Flight Abilities

PLoS ONE, 2014
Habitat loss and climate change are rapidly converting natural habitats and thereby increasing the significance of dispersal capacity for vulnerable species. Flight is necessary for dispersal in many insects, and differences in dispersal capacity may reflect dissimilarities in flight muscle aerobic capacity.

Cancer risks from cosmic radiation exposure in flight: A review

Frontiers in Public Health, 2022
Aircrew (consisting of flight attendants, pilots, or flight engineers/navigators) are exposed to cosmic ionizing radiation (CIR) at flight altitude, which originates from solar activity and galactic sources.

Flight activity promotes reproductive processes in the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2021
The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), has invaded many countries in Africa and Asia since 2016, posing a major threat to world food security.

Flight distance and population trends in European breeding birds [PDF]

Behavioral Ecology, 2008
Flight distance reflects the risk that individual animals are willing to take when approached by a potential predator, as shown by a negative relationship between susceptibility to predation and flight distance. Species with long flight distances should more often suffer from disruption of their activities by potential predators, including humans, than

Flight Mill Experiments and Computer Simulations Indicate Islands Recruit More Capable Flyers of Moths

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Understanding the traits related to species colonization and invasion, is a key question for both pest management and evolution. One of the key components is flight, which has been measured for a number of insect species through radar and tethered flight

Flight from the land? Migration flows of the rural population of the Netherlands, 1850-1940

Espace populations sociétés, 2014
In this article, we aim to analyze the residential options of the rural population of the Netherlands in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century from the perspective of push factors operating at different levels: the household, the municipality and the region. We contrast the decision to stay with moving in several ways: within the municipality

Flight Muscle and Wing Mechanical Properties are Involved in Flightlessness of the Domestic Silkmoth, Bombyx mori

Insects, 2020
Flight loss has occurred in many winged insect taxa. The flightless silkmoth Bombyx mori, is domesticated from the wild silkmoth, Bombyx mandarina, which can fly.
