Possible source and migration pathway for early-summer immigrants of the oriental armyworm, Mythimna separata, arriving in northern Japan

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2023
The first generation of the oriental armyworm, Mythimna separata (Walker), arrives every year in northern Japan in mainly late May to early June. Analyses of weather maps suggested that this moth's immigration source could be eastern China, but the ...

Pathogenicity of indigenous entomopathogenic nematodes from Benin against mango fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) under laboratory conditions [PDF]

, 2018
Bactrocera dorsalis fruit fly is the economically most significant tephritid pest species on Mango, Mangifera indica L., in Benin, and entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) represent good candidates for its control in the soil.

Tracking butterfly flight in the field from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV): a methodological proof of principle

Peer Community Journal
Tracking and understanding the movements of animals in the wild is a fast-growing area of research, known as movement ecology. However, tracking small animals such as flying insects, which cannot easily carry an electronic tag, remains challenging as ...

Causal Analysis of a Migration of the Snout Butterfly, Libytheana bachmanii Iarvata (Strecker) (Libytheidae) [PDF]

, 1983
Observation of a massive migration of the snout butterfly, Libytheana bachmanii larvata (Strecker), in central Texas in 1971 is described. An association of peak migration periods and periodic precipitation episodes is believed to be causal in nature ...
