Aeroecology of a solar eclipse. [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2018 Light cues elicit strong responses from nearly all forms of life, perhaps most notably as circadian rhythms entrained by periods of daylight and darkness. Atypical periods of darkness, like solar eclipses, provide rare opportunities to study biological responses to light cues.

Optimal settings and advantages of drones as a tool for canopy arthropod collection [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The growing field of aeroecology is limited by difficulties associated with sampling in the air column. Aerial insects are particularly hard to sample, despite being the main prey in the air column, with some recent studies attempting to use drones as a ...

Favorable winds speed up bird migration in spring but not in autumn [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Wind has a significant yet complex effect on bird migration speed. With prevailing south wind, overall migration is generally faster in spring than in autumn.

Acoustic monitoring with miniature drones shows reduced Myotis bat occurrence with altitude and drone movement [PDF]
Scientific ReportsOur understanding of aeroecology is hampered by the challenge of sampling the air column, especially for nocturnal species like bats that forage high in the airspace.

An unseen synchrony or recurrent resource pulse opportunity? linking fisheries with aeroecology [PDF]
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2020 Understanding insect and fish interactions from a spatial and temporal perspective can have implications on large‐scale phenology in freshwater systems, yet current information is limited.

Doppler weather radars as a game changer in desert locust swarm tracking [PDF]
Scientific ReportsDesert locusts, notorious for their ruinous impact on agriculture, threaten over 20% of Earth’s landmass, prompting billions in losses and global food scarcity concerns. With billions of these locusts invading agrarian lands, this is no longer a thing of

Radar aeroecology: exploring the movements of aerial fauna through radio-wave remote sensing. [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2012 An international and interdisciplinary Radar Aeroecology Workshop was held at the National Weather Center on 5–6 March 2012 on the University of Oklahoma campus in Norman, OK, USA. The workshop brought together biologists, meteorologists, radar engineers and computer scientists from 22 institutions and four countries.

Common noctules exploit low levels of the aerosphere [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Aerial habitats present a challenge to find food across a large potential search volume, particularly for insectivorous bats that rely on echolocation calls with limited detection range and may forage at heights over 1000 m.
