Active navigation and meteorological selectivity drive insect migration patterns through the Levant [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological SciencesInsect migration is crucial to many natural processes and human activities, yet large-scale patterns remain poorly understood. On the Mediterranean’s eastern shores lies a 70 km-wide stretch of hospitable habitat between the sea and the Arabian Desert ...

The Migration of Insect Vectors of Plant and Animal Viruses
, 2006 Publisher Summary This chapter summarizes the conceptual framework that distinguishes migration from other types of movement, and briefly outlines some of the methodologies used to study long-range migration of insect vectors. Several case studies of vector migration, particularly ones illustrating recent progress have been presented.

Insect Migration, Flight Periodicity and the Boundary Layer
The Journal of Animal Ecology, 1974 In an earlier attempt to find a reference framework to classify the kinds of migratory flight adopted by different kinds of insects, I used the term 'boundary layer' to describe a hypothetical layer of air near the ground within which it was supposed that insects were able to control their movements relative to the ground because their flight speed ...

Aseasonal, undirected migration in insects: 'Invisible' but common
iScienceSummary: Many insect pests are long-distance migrants, moving from lower latitudes where they overwinter to higher latitudes in spring to exploit superabundant, but seasonally ephemeral, host crops.
