▪ Abstract Tracking the movement of insects in their natural habitat is essential for
understanding their basic biology, demography, and ethology. A wide variety of markers …

Insects are amongst the greatest pests of agriculture, horticulture and forestry worldwide,
inflicting damage and economic costs both directly and by transmitting plant viruses. Many …

Abstract Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) is an important pest of citrus. It is
an efficient vector of three bacterial pathogens that are the presumptive causal agents of …

Omnivorous predators are key contributors to biocontrol, but the relative importance and
interactive effects of ecological variables (eg, habitat and prey-or plant-based foods) that …

Simple Summary Understanding insect dispersal helps us predict the spread of insect pests
and their natural enemies. Dispersal can be studied by marking, releasing, and recapturing …

An immunomarking system useful for determining insect movement patterns was developed
that allows the marking of naturally occurring populations of insects within large areas with …

The response of Dicyphus hesperus Knight (Heteroptera: Miridae) to whitefly populations in
tomato greenhouses was measured in the presence and absence of mullein (Verbascum …

In predator–prey interactions, a widely held view is that prey species have higher dispersal
rates relative to their predators and are thereby able to escape from predation by colonizing …

Augmentation biocontrol is a commercially viable pest management tactic in enclosed
glasshouse environments, but is far less effective in open-field agriculture where newly …

The dispersion of Scaphoideus titanus Ball adults from wild to cultivated grapevines was
studied using a novel mark–capture technique. The crowns of wild grapevines located at a …
