Myriad tiny insect species take to the air to engage in windborne migration, but entomology
also has its 'charismatic megafauna'of butterflies, large moths, dragonflies and locusts. The …

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

Every year, many wild animals undertake long-distance migration to breed in the north,
taking advantage of seasonally high pulses in food supply, fewer parasites, and lower …

Migration is typically associated with risk and uncertainty at the population level, but little is
known about its cost–benefit trade‐offs at the species level. Migratory insects in particular …

Migratory species are widespread in terrestrial, aquatic and aerial environments, and are
important both ecologically and economically. Since migration is an adaptive response to …

Many latitudinal insect migrants including agricultural pests, disease vectors, and beneficial
species show huge fluctuations in the year-to-year abundance of spring immigrants …

Long‐range, seasonal migration is a widespread phenomenon among insects, allowing
them to track and exploit abundant but ephemeral resources over vast geographical areas …

Parasitoids are key regulators of the population dynamics of their arthropod hosts, are
integral to the structure and dynamics of food webs, and provide ecosystem services by …

Migrations, ie the recurring, roundtrip movement of animals between distant and distinct
habitats, occur among diverse metazoan taxa. Although traditionally linked to avoidance of …

Migratory behaviour has repeatedly evolved across taxa as an adaptation to heterogeneity
in space and time. However, insect migration is still poorly understood, partly because of the …
