Insect Migration Flux Estimation Based on Statistical Hypothesis for Entomological Radar

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Measuring migration flux with entomological radar is of great importance to assess the biomass of migratory insects and study the influence of insects on the ecosystem.

Predicting Insect Migration Density and Speed in the Daytime Convective Boundary Layer [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Insect migration needs to be quantified if spatial and temporal patterns in populations are to be resolved. Yet so little ecology is understood above the flight boundary layer (i.e.

Mechanisms and Consequences of Partial Migration in Insects [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Partial migration, where a proportion of a population migrates, while other individuals remain resident, is widespread across most migratory lineages.

Biological Characteristics and Energy Metabolism of Migrating Insects

open access: yesMetabolites, 2023
Through long-distance migration, insects not only find suitable breeding locations and increase the survival space and opportunities for the population but also facilitate large-scale material, energy, and information flow between regions, which is ...

Insect trajectory simulation method based on radar observation

open access: yesThe Journal of Engineering, 2019
Large-scale insect migration may cause severe plant diseases and pests which can exert serious impact on agriculture. Predicting the trajectory and destination of insect migration accurately is an effective way to prevent pests. Here, an insect migration

Challenging the long-held “pied piper” hypothesis: evidence of southward migration of corn earworm (Helicoverpa zea) in North America [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Insect Science
Migration plays an important role in the ecology of insect pests, including Helicoverpa zea, a major pest of multiple crops across the U.S. The long-standing “pied piper” hypothesis proposes that H.

Toxicity Profiling Validates Trajectory Modeling for Identifying Sogatella furcifera Migration Sources in Southern China [PDF]

open access: yesInsects
Sogatella furcifera (Horváth) is a major migratory rice pest, yet accurate source attribution for this insect remains a persistent challenge. To assess the accuracy of trajectory modeling in determining the source areas of S.

Multigenerational migration of fall armyworm, a pest insect

open access: yesEcosphere, 2019
Multigenerational insect migration commonly expands poleward, but meteorological influences are not clearly understood. We coupled biological and physical processes for the agricultural and invasive pest Spodoptera frugiperda (fall armyworm), by modeling
