A Contribution to our Knowledge of the Bionomics of Glossina morsitans

Abstract

1. Only large game movements produce noticeable effects upon the fly community.2. The fauna of the hills is not subjected to game concentration.3. The country included in the N.E. Kikori round is not subjected to large game movements, as is the S.E. round.4. A concentration of game appears to cause a considerable increase in fly density the surrounding country; when the game have dispersed the density drops.5. In the small area of country forming the core of the concentration fly appear to be very scarce while the game are present. When the game have left the density greatly increases.6. The arrival of much game in an area causes an increase in the activity of the females.
