一些昆虫会在接近地球表面的地方（在所谓的飞行边界层内）进行迁徙飞行，但绝大多数迁徙者会在这一层之上上升，并利用风的力量进行运输。由此造成的流离失所从几十米的分散迁移到数千公里的季节性迁移不等。在这一章中，我们总结了知识的使用大气层的昆虫，特别是侧重于较长的迁移，在有关：飞行的高度和持续时间，方向和速度的运动，季节和昼夜模式，以及对大气条件和现象的反应。季节性的群众运动有重大的生态后果，在入侵地区，这些进行了简要的讨论。我们还强调了最近的比较昆虫的运动策略与飞行脊椎动物，并提到这些群体之间的相互作用在大气中。最后，我们对这些主题的未来发展提出了一些建议。
Migratory flight close to the Earth’s surface (within the so-called flight boundary layer) occurs in some insects, but the vast majority of migrants ascend above this layer and harness the power of the wind for transport. The resulting displacements range from dispersive movements over a few tens of metres to seasonal migrations covering thousands of kilometres. In this chapter, we summarize knowledge of the use of the aerosphere by insects, focusing particularly on longer migrations, in relation to: the height and duration of flight, direction and speed of movement, seasonal and diel patterns, and responses to atmospheric conditions and phenomena. The seasonal mass movements have major ecological consequences in the invaded areas, and these are discussed briefly. We also highlight recent comparisons of insect movement strategies with those of flying vertebrates and mention interactions between these groups in the atmosphere. We conclude with some suggestions for the future development of these topics.
