Knowledge of insect movement, particularly of flight, is crucial to
our understanding of the great ecological and evolutionary success
of insects. The last 20 years have seen many advances in this
subject area. New fields have arisen, such as metapopulation
theory, and dramatic developments have taken place in methods of
studying movement, as a result of new techniques in molecular
biology and radar monitoring. There have also been advances in our
knowledge of flight-related physiology and behavior. This book,
which is based on the main papers presented at the Royal
Entomological Society's 20th Symposium held in September 1999,
brings us up to date with these developments. It contains chapters
on flight mechanisms, foraging movements, migration, the evolution
of movement strategies, the interactions between dispersal rates,
population structure and gene flow the effects of climate change on
geographical distribution. It is essential reading for
entomologists, and of interest to those researching animal
behavior, physiology, ecology and genetics.
