Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Nocturnal moths are important pollinators of plants. The clover cutworm, Hadula trifolii, is a long‐distance migratory nocturnal moth. Although the larvae of H. trifolii are polyphagous pests of many cultivated crops in Asia and Europe, the plant species

Migratory Take-Off Behaviour of the Mongolian Grasshopper Oedaleus asiaticus
Insects, 2020 Oedaleus asiaticus is one of the dominant species of grasshoppers in the rangeland on the Mongolian plateau, and a serious pest, but its migratory behavior is poorly known. We investigated the take-off behavior of migratory O. asiaticus in field cages in

Quantification of migrant hoverfly movements (Diptera: Syrphidae) on the West Coast of North America [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 The seasonal migration of huge numbers of hoverflies is frequently reported in Europe from mountain passes or spurs of land. The movement of such large numbers of beneficial insects is thought to provide significant ecosystem services in terms of ...

Insect ventral radar cross-section polarisation dependence measurements for radar entomology [PDF]
, 2006 Radar entomology has developed such that routine long-term monitoring of insect flight through the atmospheric boundary layer is now practical. Typical entomological radars use X-band (9.4 GHz) marine transceivers with a vertical pencil beam and rotate ...

Windborne migration amplifies insect-mediated pollination services
eLife, 2022 Worldwide, hoverflies (Syrphidae: Diptera) provide crucial ecosystem services such as pollination and biological pest control. Although many hoverfly species exhibit migratory behavior, the spatiotemporal facets of these movement dynamics, and their ...
