However, measuring dispersal in the field is notoriously difficult, labour‐intensive and often expensive. An indirect method for estimating larval dispersal is outlined. Frass and exuviae of processionary caterpillars, O. lunifer, present at the base of host trees are used to estimate the number of migration events to and from trees in a season. Estimates using this method compared favourably with estimates from a mark‐recapture method. The technique can be used to estimate rates of dispersal at a large number of localities by a single researcher, allowing dispersal to be compared between different populations","PeriodicalId":8614,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Entomology","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/j.1440-6055.1996.tb01403.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63107012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Laboratory bioassays were used to determine the relationships between toxicological responses to, and oviposition suppression by, cypermethrin in Australian field populations of L. cuprina, which might indicate pre‐selection for resistance. There was no correlation between the toxicological responses of adult and larval blowflies to cypermethrin in over 100 populations sampled. Toxicological responses of field larvae were substantially different from that of the susceptible strain LS but the oviposition suppression response and adult toxicological response of LS was within the range of field responses. As well, larval responses to cypermethrin were significantly correlated with those to diazinon. This suggests a low‐level cross‐resistance between the two compounds. Although organophosphate resistance is widespread in field populations, and despite 13 years of pyrethroid use on sheep, the low‐level cross‐resistance to cypermethrin has not interfered with susceptibility to oviposition suppression by cypermethrin.","PeriodicalId":8614,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Entomology","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/j.1440-6055.1996.tb01404.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63107138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, the behaviour and biology of ground‐nesting populations are described from extensive surveys in southeastern Queensland. Females oviposit at the base of the host tree, covering the eggs with scales from the anal tuft. The larvae are processionary and pass through eight instars. First instars do not feed, remaining at the base of the tree trunk within the scale mass. Second instars ascend the tree in single file in the morning to feed in the canopy each day, returning to the scale mass after several hours. Later instars feed only at night. Six new host plants are recorded: five species of Acacia, and one species of Casuarina. Predators and parasitoids recorded on 0. lunifer included chalcidoids, dermestids, tachinids and a predatory pyrrhocorid bug. The results of the study highlight a number of major differences between ground‐nesting and canopy‐nesting populations. Differences include habitat and geographical distribution; host plant range; number of instars; size and colour of final instar; size of adult female; oviposition site and larval behaviour. These differences provide further evidence for the existence of two species.","PeriodicalId":8614,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Entomology","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/j.1440-6055.1996.tb01395.x","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63106612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
