Overwintering success is an important determinant of arthropod populations that must be considered as climate change continues to influence the spatiotemporal population dynamics agricultural pests. Using a long-term monitoring database and biologically relevant overwintering zones, we modeled annual seasonal common pest, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie), based on three suitability zones throughout North America using four decades soil temperatures: southern range (able persist through winter),...
Nutrient composition varies greatly across landscapes, influencing the spatiotemporal dynamics of populations. However, few studies have explored this pattern multiple scales. We tested how nutrient limitation affects herbivore populations, from individual behavior to landscape‐level dynamics, using Australian plague locust Chortoicetes terminifera . Our study combined field populations and long‐term survey data their range. At level, juvenile locusts selected a carbohydrate‐biased intake...
Ecological phenomena operate at different spatial scales and are not uniform across landscapes or through time. One ecological theory that attempts to account for scaling spatiotemporal variances is hierarchical patch dynamics. It introduces a network with smaller being nested within larger scales. However, few studies have modeled its presence animal population Locusts an excellent model investigating the hierarchy of dynamics, due their high migratory capacity, large geographic ranges...
Abstract Animal populations must be able to acquire an adequate amount of nutrients persist regardless what environment they are in. In highly variable environments, such as drylands where food sources limited, this potential mismatch between physiological demands and is available in the accentuated. For herbivores, balance macronutrients (protein carbohydrate) particularly important both plants spatially temporally. Whereas it known that many herbivores will forage multiple achieve optimal...
Locusts and other migratory grasshoppers are transboundary pests. Monitoring control, therefore, involve a complex system made up of social, ecological, technological factors. Researchers those involved in active management calling for more integration between these siloed but often interrelated sectors. In this paper, we bring together 38 coauthors from six continents 34 unique organizations, representing much the social-ecological-technological (SETS) related to grasshopper locust research...
Nutrient composition varies greatly across landscapes, influencing the spatiotemporal variation and dynamics of populations, yet few studies have investigated this pattern multiple scales. We tested how nutrient limitation affects herbivore from individual behavior to landscape-level population dynamics, using Australian plague locust, Chortoicetes terminifera (Walker), with field populations long-term survey data their range. At level, juvenile locusts selected for a carbohydrate-biased...
