Hi all,
Does anyone have a full citation for this study?  I can't find it in any of
the usual places.

The experiment of Moore (1960) in which marked individuals of  Ceriagrion
and  Ischnura were reciprocally displaced between habitats and did not
subsequently return to their points of origin, does not demonstrate a lack
of homing ability. If employing some compass orientation alone, insects so
displaced would subsequently home to the new habitat, which is what, in
fact, Moore's results indicated was happening.

Thanks!
