Insect populations including butterflies are declining worldwide, and they are becoming an
urgent conservation priority in many regions. Understanding which butterfly species migrate …

Migrating animals have an impact on ecosystems directly via influxes of predators, prey, and
competitors and indirectly by vectoring nutrients, energy, and pathogens. Although linkages …

BACKGROUND The fall armyworm (FAW), an invasive pest from the Americas, is rapidly
spreading through the Old World, and has recently invaded the Indochinese Peninsula and …

Despite the fact that migratory insects dominate aerial bioflows in terms of diversity,
abundance, and biomass [1–6], the migration patterns of most species, and the effects of …

Simple Summary The western corn rootworm is a destructive and mobile insect pest of corn
in North America and Europe. It is difficult to manage, in part because resistance has …

Many migratory species have experienced substantial declines that resulted from rapid and
massive expansions of human structures and activities, habitat alterations and climate …

How the relative impacts of anthropogenic pressures on the natural environment vary
between different taxonomic groups, habitats, and geographic regions is increasingly well …

Flying animals often encounter winds during visually guided landings. However, how winds
affect their flight control strategy during landing is unknown. Here, we investigated how …

Large migrating insects, flying at high altitude, often exhibit complex behaviour. They
frequently elect to fly on winds with directions quite different from the prevailing direction …

Radar networks hold great promise for monitoring population trends of migrating insects.
However, it is important to elucidate the nature of responses to environmental cues. We use …
