“…6). Of course, the relationship in 1999 is based on a much smaller number of individuals than experienced in 2000, which is consistent with the effects of increasing distance between overwintering site and potato Þeld (Weisz et al 1996b, Follett et al 1996. Increasing distance delays the onset of immigration and attenuates the period of immigration ( Fig.…”

“…Future studies should assess the optimal spatial structure for other crop/pest systems. We predict that transgenic fields should be (1) aggregated to a greater extent to combat insects with large dispersal distances, such as the European corn borer ( Ostrinia nubilalis ) (Bourguet et al ., 2000a), an important pest of corn and (2) less clumped for insects with restricted movement, such as the Colorado potato beetle ( L. decemlineata ) (Follet et al ., 1996; Alyokhin & Ferro, 1999b), a key pest of potatoes.…”

The 'high-dose-refuge' (HDR) strategy is widely recommended by the biotechnology industry and regulatory authorities to delay pest adaptation to transgenic crops that produce Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins. This involves cultivating nontoxic plants (refuges) in close proximity to crops producing a high dose of Bt toxin. The principal cost associated with this strategy is due to yield losses suffered by farmers growing unprotected, refuge plants. Using a population genetic model of selection in a spatially heterogeneous environment, we show the existence of an optimal spatial configuration of refuges that could prevent the evolution of resistance whilst reducing the use of costly refuges. In particular, the sustainable control of pests is achievable with the use of more aggregated distributions of nontransgenic plants and transgenic plants producing lower doses of toxin. The HDR strategy is thus suboptimal within the context of sustainable agricultural development.

“…The use of the harmonic technique, whether it is as a direction-finder (e.g., Mascanzoni & Wallin, 1986) or as direction and range finders (e.g., Riley et al, 1996), will not provide access to all the types of flight that are part of the life system of the CPB. Mark and release techniques can measure average distances travelled (e.g., Follett et al, 1996) but provide no information on travel time, number of interrupted flights, height of flight, and the general effect of landscape on flight behaviour (Osborne et al, 1999;Capaldi et al, 2000).

Electronic tags for the tracking of insects in flight: effect of weight on flight performance of adult Colorado potato beetles

The wing loading of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), was found to decrease slightly with increasing size over a wide range of individual sizes and independent of sex. This makes it possible to use tags of the same weight for beetles of all sizes and suggests that if the addition of light electronic tags has any effect on the beetle's flight it will be similar across beetle size. The wing loading of individual potato beetles ranged from an average minimum 10.9 N m −2 to an average maximum of 15.6 N m −2 as their weights fluctuated over time following water and food uptake or dispersal. However, tests carried out in flight chambers indicate that beetles become incapable of upward flight as they go beyond an average wing loading of 11.8 N m −2 , that is 101 µN (10.3 mg) beyond their minimum weight. It is estimated from our results that electronic tags should weigh no more than 23-33% of the potato beetle's acceptable extra loading for the technique to have no or minimal impact on the number and quality of upward flights taken.
