Migration is a key process in the population dynamics of many
insects, including some of the most damaging pests.
Multidisciplinary research into the importance of migration, in
recent decades, has produced many 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 insects adaptation to 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 book then addresses the
application of this knowledge to operational pest forecasting.
