The application of X-ray spectrometry to analysis of elemental composition (chemoprinting) in the study of migration of Noctua pronuba L.

Abstract. 1. Wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry was used to make quantitative determinations of the elemental composition (chemoprints) of individuals and of bulked males and females of Noctua pronuba.
2. Females caught in light traps at Rothamsted on two successive nights in August 1978 could be separated by significant differences in content of five elements, S, K, Ca, Cu and Zn. Two females, thought on biological grounds to be immigrants, could be distinguished from other, probably resident, females trapped at the same time.
3. Males and females were different in respect of four elements, S, Cl, K and Ca, three of which, S, K, and Ca, were also discriminants between nightly populations of females.

Butterfly migration: are synoptic-scale wind systems important?

Abstract. 1. If synoptic-scale wind systems are important in determining long-distance movements of butterflies, a portion of the variation in daily counts of migrants at a site should be explainable by prior winds.
2. Using special flight traps near Gainesville, Florida, U.S.A., from 29 August until 12 November 1978, we made replicated, continuous counts of four migrant species: Phoebis sennae, Urbanus proteus, Agraulis vanillae and Precis coenia .
3. Significant SSE-ward flights occurred for one or more of the four species on 47 days between 5 September and 6 November (Fig. 1).
4. Seasonal changes in numbers of migrants were similar for the four species (Fig. 1). Median fall migrants were trapped between 22 September ( A.vanillae ) and 1 October ( U.proteus and P.sennae ).
5. Daily fluctuations in total numbers of migrants were largely attributable to local weather, viz temperature, wind speed and cloud cover (Fig. 2).
6. Neither local wind direction (Fig. 3) nor back-tracking the positions of air parcels (Fig. 4) helped explain the daily fluctuations.
7. The characteristic autumn weather patterns of south-eastern U.S.A. and the day-to-day steadiness of the numbers of migrants are incompatible with the hypothesis that synoptic-scale wind systems are important in determining butterfly migrations through Gainesville, Florida, in the autumn.
