From 2013 to 2015 the within-field spatio-temporal distributions and interactions between Ceutorhynchus pallidactylus and Brassicogethes aeneus in winter oilseed rape crops were assessed using SADIE analysis (Spatial Analysis by Distance IndicEs) and Quick association analysis. A significant tendency for aggregation was recorded in C. pallidactylus males in the crop in both 2013 and 2015. Females showed a high tendency towards aggregation only in 2013. Both sexes were significantly associated in crops in 2013 and 2015. B. aeneus adults showed a high tendency towards aggregation in all three years. From the three seasons the cumulative distributions (based on the sums of insect catches in traps for the individual dates) of males and females of C. pallidactylus were significantly associated with the cumulative distribution of B. aeneus adults only in 2013. Contrary to this, an almost significant dissociation between cumulative distributions of C. pallidactylus males and B. aeneus adults was recorded in 2014.
