The authors review a selection of key references to studies on the disperal and movement of
insect pests that have been published since the review by CG Johnson in 1969. The 3 main …

We describe an emerging framework for understanding variation, selection and evolution of
phenotypic traits that are mathematical functions. We use one specific empirical example …

The effects of food deprivation and prey contact on the components of searching behaviour
in larval green lacewings (Chrysopa carnea Stephens) were examined to test the …

Host-plant finding is affected by both the distribution of host plants and the insect's
orientation which here is described as a control system. Orientation is controlled by internal …
