An analysis of the kinematics of swarming of Anarete pritchardi kim (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae)
Abstract
Movies of swarming of a cecidomyiid midge Anarete pritchardiKim, are analysed to provide kinematic data for swarming. Statistical characteristics calculated from the basic data are the mean, variance, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis of the insect coordinates; insect number‐density distribution in space, frequency distribution of insect velocities; velocity autocorrelation coefficients; effective advective velocity and diffusivity for swarming, among others.
