The role of migration in the life system of the African armyworm Spodoptera exempta
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 September 2011
Abstract
The African armyworm is a migrant moth which, in its larval form, can cause severe plagues which destroy cereal crops, sugarcane and pastures in many parts of Africa. This paper reviews the relevant aspects of a multidisciplinary study into the dispersal behaviour and re-concentration of moths, migratory flight, source areas, population upsurges and the seasonal movement of moths. It introduces the new concepts of primary and critical outbreaks.
