An entomological perspective on animal dispersal

  • Chapter
Animal Dispersal

Abstract

Mammalian, avian, entomological, and botanical views of the movements of organisms have developed simultaneously during the past century (Rankin, 1985b). Although the paths have often been separate, links among the taxonomic viewpoints have provided new insights and the impetus for studies in other taxa. Here, we first sketch historical differences and similarities in the approaches of studies of movements of different taxa. We concentrate on why divergent views have developed in the studies of birds, mammals, and insects. We then provide a summary of what studies of insects have contributed to the understanding of the ecology and evolution of the movements of organisms. Finally, we point to areas where interactions among students of different taxa may be especially rewarding.
