Flight Range of Tabanidae in a Louisiana Bottomland Hardwood Forest

Abstract

Marked tabanids released in a Louisiana bottomland hardwood forest were recaptured up to 6.8 km from release points. Calculations performed to correct for lower trapping intensities at greater distances from marking stations indicated a fairly uniform distribution of marked ♀ tabanids from 0.8 to at least 6.8 km from release points.
