ADULT DISPERSAL OF TENODERA-ARIDIFOLIA-SINENSIS (MANTODEA, MANTIDAE)

Adult male and female mantids, Tenodera aridifolia sinensis Saussure, exhibited similar dispersal in a large, natural field population. Distance and frequency of movement of bee-tagged individuals was the same for each sex, and neither sex demonstrated a significant directional bias. Therefore, cont...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Adult male and female mantids, Tenodera aridifolia sinensis Saussure, exhibited similar dispersal in a large, natural field population. Distance and frequency of movement of bee-tagged individuals was the same for each sex, and neither sex demonstrated a significant directional bias. Therefore, contrary to the findings of an earlier study, females can move as far on the ground as males can fly during their adult lives under natural circumstances. Neither males nor females moved farther than 70 m from the point at which they were originally tagged, which may explain the disjunct local distribution of this geographically widespread, introduced species.
