... The contribution of the surrounding vegetation to this influx might be limited for cases of pests that are able to travel long distances on air currents, and this is the case for several small insect and mite pests. Thrips, for example, can travel distances of even hundreds of kilometres [26]. Most species of thrips outside greenhouses fly only during a few weeks per year, which can result in spectacular mass flights [27]. ...

One of the ecosystem services of biodiversity is the contribution to pest control through conservation and stimulation of natural enemies. However, whether plant diversity around greenhouses is beneficial or a potential risk is heavily debated. In this review, we argue that most greenhouse pests in temperate climates are of exotic origin and infest greenhouses mainly through transportation of plant material. For indigenous pests, we discuss the potential ways in which plant diversity around greenhouses can facilitate or prevent pest migrations into greenhouses. As shown in several studies, an important benefit of increased plant diversity around greenhouses is the stimulation of indigenous natural enemies that migrate to greenhouses, where they suppress both indigenous and exotic pests. How this influx can be supported by specific plant communities, plant characteristics, and habitats while minimising risks of increasing greenhouse pest densities, virus transmission, or hyperparasitism needs further studies. It also requires a better understanding of the underlying processes that link biodiversity with pest management. Inside greenhouses, plant biodiversity can also support biological control. We summarise general methods that growers can use to enhance pest control with functional biodiversity and suggest that it is particularly important to study how biodiversity inside and outside greenhouses can be linked to enhancement of biological pest control with both released and naturally occurring species of natural enemies.

ERA5 data are available on regular latitude-longitude grids at 0.25˚ × 0.25˚ resolution, with atmospheric parameters at 37 pressure levels and offers the best agreement and correlation with the real time data (Ramon et al., 2019). Wind settings at an approximate pressure level of 850 hPa (nearly 1500 m from surface height that corresponds to the lowest troposphere level) are highly strategic for the swarm flight trajectories (Cressman & Stefanski, 2016;Rosenberg & Burtm, 1999;Makra et al., 2017;Wang et al., 2020). ...

The desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria Forsk. (Orthoptera: Acrididae) is a peculiar insect that exhibits density-dependent phase polyphenism. Gregarious phase enables desert locust to form a large groups and mass migrations during which significant crop loss and food security issues may occur. Currently , the most recent upsurge of desert locust is prevailing across Eastern Africa and Southwestern Asia. Usually desert locusts are restricted to regions like semi-arid and arid regions. A super cyclonic storm, namely Amphan originated during May 2020, in the Bay of Bengal of North Indian Ocean has influenced numerous swarms to migrate from the Thar desert region to other parts of India. In this research, satellite data were used to investigate the reasons for this sudden swarm migration. The results that revealed the wind jets passing above the Thar desert region have integrated with the cyclogenesis of Amphan and led to the formation of conduits. The favorable conditions in the conduits include the open sky conditions, air temperature and fresh vegetation availability. Moreover, the wind settings in the conduits have enabled the swarm migrate to follow the downwind facing the sunrays during early mornings for an easy and successful takeoff. It is observed that during the takeoff session the wind speed at 850 hPa pressure level is mostly double than that of surface wind in both the conduits.
... A lot of species (e.g., Hercinothrips femoralis, Microcephalothrips abdominalis, Frankliniella occidentalis, Thrips flavus, T. tabaci, Limothrips cerealium, L. denticornis, etc.) may carry a heavy introduction and invasion potential (Morse & Hoddle 2006;Reynaud et al. 2008;Reynaud 2010;Diaz-Montano et al. 2011;Masarovič et al. , 2017bFedor et al. 2018) with well-developed mechanisms for their successful dispersion. According to the above-mentioned facts on the natural and human-induced dispersion mechanisms, together with recent knowledge on European alien thrips fauna (Vierbergen 1999(Vierbergen , 2001Reynaud et al. 2008;Šimala & Masten Milek 2008;Goldarazena 2011;Pizzol et al. 2014;Orosz et al. 2017;Muntyan et al. 2018;Makra et al. 2018), a wide variety of new exotic economic species (e.g., Thrips hawaiiensis, Frankliniella schultzei or Scirtothrips spp.) may undisputedly occur in Slovakia over the next couple of years. ...

Almost sixty years after the first published plea for more systematic research on thrips in Slovakia, the checklist undisputedly requires an appropriate revision with a special emphasis on the economic consequences of climate change and biological commodity trade globalisation synergic effects, followed by the dynamic and significant changes in the native biodiversity due to alien species introduction. The updated checklist contains 189 species ecorded from the area of Slovakia, from three families: Aeolothripidae Uzel, 1895 (15 species), Thripidae Stephens, 1829 (113 species) and Phlaeothripidae Uzel, 1895 (61 species), including 7 beneficiary and 35 economic pest elements, such as one A2 EPPO quarantine pest (Frankliniella occidentalis) and five potential transmitters of tospoviruses (F. occidentalis, F. intonsa, F. fusca, Thrips tabaci, Dictyothrips betae). Several species (e.g., Hercinothrips femoralis, Microcephalothrips abdominalis, F. occidentalis, T. flavus, T. tabaci, Limothrips cerealium, L. denticornis, etc.) may possess a heavy introduction and invasion potential with well-developed mechanisms for successful dispersion.
... Similarly, for atmospheric dispersal simulations, tools such as RAFLES (Bohrer et al., 2009), HYSPLIT (Rolph et al., 2017) and others (Tesson et al., 2016) exist. Although HYSPLIT, for example, was mostly designed to simulate the dispersal of atmospheric pollutants, it has also been used extensively to simulate the dispersal of insects (see Makra et al., 2018 and the references therein), seeds (Liu et al., 2018), spores (e.g. Grinn-Gofron et al., 2016, pollen (e.g. ...

Terrestrial plants seeds, spores and pollen are often dispersed by wind. Likewise, most eggs and larvae of marine organisms are dispersed by oceanic currents. It was historically believed that the spatial scale at which dispersal occurs was orders of magnitude smaller for plants than for fish. However, recent empirical estimates of seed and larval dispersal suggest that these dispersal scales are more alike than previously thought. The modeling approaches used to simulate aerial and aquatic dispersal are also converging. Similar biophysical models are developed, in which outputs of Eulerian models simulating the main physical forcing mechanism (wind or currents) are used as inputs to Lagrangian models that include biological components (such as seed terminal velocity or larval vertical migration). These biophysical models are then used to simulate trajectories of the biological entities (seeds, larvae) in three dimensions. We reflect on these converging trends by first putting them into an historical perspective, and then by comparing the physical and biological processes represented in marine larva vs. terrestrial seed dispersal models, the data used for the models output corroboration, and the tools available to perform simulations. We conclude that this convergence offers the opportunity to bridge the gap between two scientific communities which are currently largely disconnected. More broadly, we also see our comparison across systems as a useful way to strengthen the links between aquatic and terrestrial ecology by sharing knowledge, methods, tools, and concepts.
... The importance of dynamic dispersal pathways in insects (Stinner et al. 1983;Robinet et al. 2009;Carrasco et al. 2010;Bullock et al. 2018), including thrips (Kirk & Terry 2003, Fedor 2004, Fedor et al. 2010, Masarovi et al., 2017 is widely recognised. The increases in global trade and the movement of people and goods inadvertently created and strengthened pathways for insects to invade previously inaccessible environments (Kiritani 2001;Kirk & Terry 2003;Makra et al. 2017). The minute size and often cryptic nature of thrips predisposes them as potentially effective pests, when in reality, only about 1%, out of more than 6 200 species of thrips (ThripsWiki 2019), are currently considered serious pests Morse & Hoddle 2005). ...

After the first record of the banded greenhouse thrips, Hercinothrips femoralis (Reuter, 1891) in Slovakia in 2008, a peculiar occurrence in an extreme subalpine environment of Podbanské (High Tatra Mts.), Slovakia, during the summer of the same year was observed. Since this species of exotic thrips is known to be almost sedentary, the mode of dispersal was hypothesized to be related to passive transport via weather currents. According to our observations of unintentional dispersal a test was conducted to research a previously unidentified introduction pathway of this species. Our preliminary results show that passive transport by humans plays a crucial role in the dispersal of H. femoralis.

Thrips (Thysanoptera) are opportunistic organisms that exhibit a wide range of life histories. Although easily overlooked because of their small size, they have been recorded from many types of ecosystems worldwide (Mound 2005). The thysanopteran fauna comprises approximately 6000 species and is more abundant and diverse in the tropics than in temperate regions (Mound and Marullo 1996).
