| Abstract | The invasive red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Dryophthoridae) has become the main pest of palms. Because of the cryptic habits of the adult, little is known about the precise movements on palms and the actual dispersal capability in a population. Such data would help to improve risk assessment and management. Miniature radio tags have been increasingly used to monitor movements of animals. In this study, we evaluated the resistance of passive radio frequency identification (RFID) and active radio-transmitters (comprising an antenna) to the burrowing behavior of the insect and their effects on the flight activity. Tagged weevils were placed in boxes filled with fibrous plant material. After 1 week, ca. 90% of insects kept the tag but 83% of the radio-transmitters had a broken antenna. In a screen cage, 100% of insects equipped with RFID flew normally, in contrast to the 17% of insects equipped with active tags. RFID-tagged insects inserted in palm tissue could be easily identified. RFID glued to the thorax affected neither mating behavior nor oviposition. In conclusion, RFID tags appear to be the most efficient tool for tracking the displacement of the weevil in young palms and present new opportunities for promoting studies about gregarious behavior of the red palm weevil on young infected palms. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
