Abstract
Movements of milkweed beetles (Tetraopes tetraophthalmus and Tetraopes femoratus) were monitored using mark-release-recapture techniques to compare the within- and between-patch movement patterns of individuals in a naturally occurring population. Within-patch and between-patch movement patterns differ in both frequency and distance traveled for males and females of both study species. Males move farther than females and are more likely to move between patches. Individuals recognize and alter movement upon encountering patch edges. Results suggest that laboratory estimates of Tetraopes vagility give a misleading indication of actual dispersal.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
