Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Movement of insects and other arthropods under various conditions is a ubiquitous phenomenon which has important implications for nature conservation, agriculture, forestry, monitoring, pest control, etc. Research on animal movement has been widespread in past decades and is the subject of many publications yet, despite being one of key questions in spatial ecology, there still is no clear understanding of generic movement mechanisms and how they affect spatial distributions of animal populations. This Special Issue will bring together original and review articles that deal with various aspects of arthropod movements and their consequences at population level at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Both empirical and mathematical modelling papers are welcome.
