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

Study design and mark-recapture estimates of dispersal: A case study with the endangered damselfly Coenagrion mercuriale [PDF]
, 2012 Accurate data on dispersal ability are vital to the understanding of how species are affected by fragmented landscapes. However, three factors may limit the ability of field studies to detect a representative sample of dispersal events: (1) the number of

Estimating Mosquito Population Size From Mark–Release–Recapture Data
Journal of Medical Entomology, 2013 Accurate estimation of population size is key to understanding the ecology of disease vectors, as well as the epidemiology of the pathogens they carry and to plan effective control activities. Population size can be estimated through mark-release-recapture (MRR) experiments that are based on the assumption that the ratio of recaptured individuals to ...

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2016 Mosquito midgut microbiota is a key component of vector competence, as gut bacteria can disturb pathogen development. In this study, we addressed the microbiota composition of Aedes aegypti during its lifespan, under field conditions.

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

A standardised method of marking male mosquitoes with fluorescent dust
Parasites & Vectors, 2020 Background Prior to a major release campaign of sterile insects, including the sterile insect technique, male mosquitoes must be marked and released (small scale) to determine key parameters including wild population abundance, dispersal and survival ...

Marking Drosophila suzukii (Diptera : Drosophilidae) with fluorescent dusts [PDF]
, 2020 The marking of Drosophila suzukii can be an important instrument for studying the ecology and behaviour of this economically important fruit pest, aiding the development of new Integrated Pest Management (IPM) tools or strategies.

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1992 Dispersal of five species of phlebotomine sand flies was studied in a coffee plantation near Arboledas, Colombia by mark-release-recapture studies using fluorescent powders. The estimated recapture rate for males of Lutzomyia shannoni marked and released

Malaria Journal, 2019 Background A clear understanding of mosquito biology is fundamental to the control efforts of mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria. Mosquito mark-release-recapture (MMRR) experiments are a popular method of measuring the survival and dispersal of ...

Female dispersal and isolation-by-distance of Nasonia vitripennis populations in a local mate competition context [PDF]
, 2009 Dispersal behavior directly influences the level of inbreeding, but the effect of inbreeding avoidance on dispersal is less well studied. The parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis (Walker) (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Pteromalidae) is known to mate ...
