In some animal populations, immigrants have lower survival than philopatric individuals. Costs of dispersal or low phenotypic quality of dispersers may explain the pattern. However, apparent adult survival estimates, which ...
Bait stations are widely used to control Ceratitis capitata, even though the effect of intrusion from untreated areas decreases the efficacy of the technique. In this work, the edge effect of outer fruit fly populations ...

Background: A juvenile Crowned Eagle was tagged at its nest with a satellite transmitter. The Crowned Eagle
(Harpyhaliaetus coronatus) is one of the most unknown raptor species from the American continent. Their ...
[EN] Novel, suitable and sustainable alternative control tactics that have the potential to reduce migration of Diaphorina citri into commercial citrus orchards are essential to improve management of huanglongbing (HLB). ...
Studying dispersal is crucial to understand metapopulation and sink-source dynamics and invasion processes. The capability to disperse is especially important for species living in fragmented habitats like wetlands. We ...

The red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Coleoptera:
Dryophthoridae), native to tropical Asian regions, has become a serious threat
to palm trees all over the world. Knowledge of its flight potential is ...
