Insect Migration: Tracking Resources Through Space and Time Tapa dura - 1995
de V. Alistair Drake (Editor); A. Gavin Gatehouse (Editor)
Primera línea
Although there are many records in the literature of individual insect migrations within Africa and Europe (see e.g. Williams, 1958; Johnson, 1969; Cayrol, 1972; Rainey, 1976; Pedgley, 1982; Dingle, 1985), there have been few attempts to review seasonal redistribution on a continental scale (but see Farrow (1990) for the migration of Acridoidea).
Descripción de contraportada
Migration is a key process in the population dynamics of many insects, including some of the most damaging pests. Multidisciplinary research over the last three decades has produced a series of important new insights. This book reviews current understanding of the ecological, behavioural, physiological and genetic bases of insect migration. The first part describes migration systems in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and America, with an emphasis on the role of regional weather and climate. The second part considers how insects are adapted for migration; it covers aerodynamics and energetics, the integration of migration in insect life cycles, environmental and genetic regulation of migratory potential and the evolutionary implications of habitat heterogeneity and variability. The third part addresses the application of this knowledge to operational pest forecasting. The book concludes with a comprehensive overview of insect migration, written from an evolutionary perspective.
