- Abstract
The article discusses the results of a study that examined the spatial distribution and abundance of Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica in soybean fields. The study found that the number of beetles declined significantly as the distance from the field edge increased. Females that are far from the edge have larger egg loads. Other explanations for the spatial patterns include differences in aggregation seeking behavior and movement in relation to wind and obstructions.
