Evidence of active or passive downwind dispersal in mark–release–recapture of moths [PDF]

open access: greenEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2010
AbstractModelling moth dispersal in relation to wind direction and strength could greatly enhance the role of pheromone traps in biosecurity and pest management applications. Anemotaxis theory, which describes moth behaviour in the presence of a pheromone plume and is used as a framework for such models.

The challenge of measuring mosquito flight performance: going beyond sterile insect technique and into transgenic and gene drive-based approaches [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Biology
Invasive insects inflict global costs of more than 70 billion USD annually by destroying crops and spreading disease-causing pathogens. Sterile insect technique (SIT), an insect population control method, involves the irradiation or chemical ...

A mark-release-recapture experiment with Anopheles sinensis in the northern part of Gyeonggi-do, Korea [PDF]

open access: bronzeThe Korean Journal of Parasitology, 2002
In order to study the range of flight and feeding activity of Anopheles sinensis, the dispersal experiment was conducted in Paju city, located in the northern part of Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea, during the period of 7th to 28th September 1998. Unfed females An.

Mechanistic-statistical inference of mosquito dynamics from mark-release-recapture data [PDF]

open access: green
Biological control strategies against mosquito-borne diseases--such as the sterile insect technique (SIT), RIDL, and Wolbachia-based releases--require reliable estimates of dispersal and survival of released males. We propose a mechanistic--statistical framework for mark--release--recapture (MRR) data linking an individual-based 2D diffusion model with

Guidance for Evaluating the Safety of Experimental Releases of Mosquitoes, Emphasizing Mark-Release-Recapture Techniques. [PDF]

open access: yesVector Borne Zoonotic Dis, 2018
Experimental releases of mosquitoes are performed to understand characteristics of populations related to the biology, ability to transmit pathogens, and ultimately their control. In this article, we discuss considerations related to the safety of experimental releases of living mosquitoes, applying principles of good practice in vector biology that ...

Mark-release-recapture meets Species Distribution Models: Identifying micro-habitats of grassland butterflies in agricultural landscapes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS One, 2018
Habitat demands and species mobility strongly determine the occurrence of species. Sedentary species with specific habitat requirements are assumed to occur more patchy than mobile habitat generalist species, and thus suffer stronger under habitat fragmentation and habitat deterioration.

Home‐site fidelity and homing behavior of the big‐headed turtle Platysternon megacephalum

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Site fidelity refers to the restriction of dispersal distance of an animal and its tendency to return to a stationary site. To our knowledge, the homing ability of freshwater turtles and their fidelity is reportedly very low in Asia.
