306 Citations1980Robert L. Metcalf
This review focuses on this turbulent scene with analysis of the reasons for the changes that have occurred and of the inevitability of development of an economically practical and socially acceptable technol ogy for the rational and judicious use of chemical insecticides, i.e. integrated pest management (IPM).

258 Citations1989L. Sv�rd, Christer Wiklund
The results showed that not only is the mass of the ejaculate greater in more polyandrous species, but also the rate at which males are able to produce sperm and accessory substances is greater, indicating that sperm competition is important for explaining variation in ejaculate mass in butterflies.

75 Citations1987Jeremy N. McNeil
It is proposed that the spring northward migration occurs to avoid the deleterious effects of summer temperatures and the southward fall one to escape severe winter conditions and that both spring and fall migrations are initiated by similar short-day, low temperature conditions, which serve as predictable environmental cues for an impending habitat deterioration.

Females of Trichoplusia ni (Hubner) synchronized to a 12:12 light :dark cycle at 24°C released sex pheromone only between 5 hours after dark and the end of the dark period, and the time of mating appears to be regulated by an endogenous circadian rhythm of female pheroma release.
