Metapopulations of locusts and grasshoppers: spatial structures, their dynamics and early warning systems

  • Chapter
New Strategies in Locust Control

Abstract

Abstract

A metapopulation analysis allows us to distinguish acridid groups with similar relations to ecological factors, including landscape heterogeneity, to determine the possible paths and barriers for dispersion and to describe landscape differences in dynamic patterns. The boundaries between the different parts of a metapopulation seem to be very distinct. Often movements of grasshoppers (including good flyers) are limited by the frontiers of the local landscape.

Abstract

L’analyse des metapopulations permet à distinguer les groupes des acridiens avec ressemblant relations à facteurs écologiques, dont notamment hétérogénéité des paysages, déterminer les voies possible et barrières de diffusion et décrire les différences de paysage en régularités dynamiques. Il se suppose que les frontières entre différents pans des metapopulations sont très distincts. Souvent déplacements des acridiens, dont notamment bien volants, limitent par les frontières des paysages local.
