Notes: Our study first quantified CMBS crawler survival under starved conditions with diferent moisture and temperature treatments. We then characterized crawler movement when placed onto substrates of varying colors and textures. Finally, we estimated the potential distances crawlers could move over various time periods ranging from one to 72 h and then used a Monte Carlo simulation to pair survival times with crawling distances to estimate time-dependent dispersal capacity. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10905-025-09872-3
