Pollinator declines, changes in land use and climate-induced shifts in phenology have the
potential to seriously affect ecosystem function and food security by disrupting pollination …

Partial migration, where a proportion of a population migrates, while other individuals remain
resident, is widespread across most migratory lineages. However, the mechanisms driving …

Despite the fact that migratory insects dominate aerial bioflows in terms of diversity, abundance,
and biomass [1–6], the migration patterns of most species, and the effects of their annual …

… If we consider the net effect of these reciprocal interactions, hb is repressed by Kr in the …
repression of Kr by Hb. We explain this as follows: the border between hb and Kr is maintained at …

10.7554/eLife.04785.001 The segmentation gene network in insects can produce equivalent
phenotypic outputs despite differences in upstream regulatory inputs between species. We …

… Wotton designed and performed research, analysed data and wrote the manuscript. Will
LS Hawkes and Richard Massey contributed to sample collection. Federica Mantica, Jon …

… At early stages, close to the origin, we observe a fast initial increase in Kr and Kni
concentrations, indicated by red arrows at low Kr and Kni concentrations in Fig 3C (C13 and T2). …

Migratory insects are a key component of terrestrial ecosystems, but understanding their full
contribution is challenging as they are difficult to track, and migration often takes place at …

… ; Wotton, Jiménez-Guri, Crombach, Janssens, et al. 2015). This results in considerable initial
domain overlap between hb and Kr … We observe in both species that Kr is the main inhibitor …

Large migrating insects, flying at high altitude, often exhibit complex behaviour. They frequently
elect to fly on winds with directions quite different from the prevailing direction, and they …
