Dispersal behavior of Colladonus montanus (Homoptera: Cicadellidae) in cherry orchards
Environmental Entomology 11 (6), 1178-1182
Abstract: Dusting with fluorescent-colored powders was a durable and reliable method of marking Colladonus montanus leafhoppers and did not reduce their longevity or subsequent recapture. The percentages of marked C. montanus caught on yellow sticky boards placed in a cherry orchard in autumn, spring, and summer were 9, 21, and 1 % respectively. Catches generally decreased exponentially with distance from the release point and with time after release. Captures were prolonged over several weeks after the autumn release but diminished rapidly after warm-weather releases.
