Flight Behavior and Dispersal of Diaprepes Abbreviatus
Abstract
From July to October 1975, marked adult Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) were released in an isolated orange grove near Apopka (Orange County), Florida. Specimens were recovered for 50-52 days following each of 2 releases. Multiple sightings were made of 42% of the released females and 34% of individually coded males. Nearly 80% of the sightings were made within 5 days of release.Downloads
