Yardeni, A., & Rosen, D. 1990 Wind dispersal and pattern of colonization of Ceroplastes floridensis on citrus in Israel.. Proceedings of the Sixth International Symposium of Scale Insect Studies, Part II. Cracow, Poland: August 6-12, 1990. Agricultural University Press Cracow

Notes: Abstract: Airborne crawlers captured by sticky traps placed in an uninfested citrus grove before older instars could be detected developing on twigs & leaves; number captured correlated with population density of the invading generation in the grove; latter were randomly distributed; those of following generation (mostly those that had matured in the grove), showed a higher density & negative binomial distribution; when exposed to an air current, crawlers assumed characteristic dispersal posture that facilitated their becoming airborne.
