Facing the Wind: The Aeroecology of Vertebrate Migrants
2017The aerosphere is an essential part of the habitat of flying vertebrates. Birds and bats make use of the airspace for daily activities like foraging, commuting, mating, and seasonal movements including migration. In this chapter, we focus on how the properties of the aerosphere affect migration and a few other regular large-scale movements. For animals

Riders on the Wind: The Aeroecology of Insect Migrants
2017Migratory flight close to the Earth’s surface (within the so-called flight boundary layer) occurs in some insects, but the vast majority of migrants ascend above this layer and harness the power of the wind for transport. The resulting displacements range from dispersive movements over a few tens of metres to seasonal migrations covering thousands of ...

Multi-Camera Videography Methods for Aeroecology
2017The ability to study the behavior of flying animals in their natural environment has been dramatically improved by recent advances in imaging technologies and video analysis tools. Stereo videography, in particular, has taken aeroecology to a new level.

Exploring the Skies: Technological Challenges in Radar Aeroecology
2021Aeroecology is an emerging interdisciplinary science focused on the study of airborne organisms with the aim of deepening understanding about the ecological functions of the aerosphere and the bio-organisms that move through it. In addition to having important applications to the understanding of animal migration and foraging movements, global pest and

The Lofty Lives of Aerial Consumers: Linking Population Ecology and Aeroecology
2017Integrating population ecology and aeroecology is important for conservation for species that depend on aerial habitats. Assessing population response to anthropogenic stressors is key to predicting species at risk of extirpation or extinction, yet can be particularly challenging for species that predominately use the aerosphere.

Radar Aeroecology in the cloud. A Virtual Lab for continental scale Aeroecological analysis
The airspace is becoming increasingly crowded. High-rises, wind farms and airports all contribute to conflict with aerial organisms. Information about the movements of organisms in the air is required to identify stop-over sites, migratory routes, and patterns.Berend-Christiaan Wijers +4 more

Ecological Modelling, 2019
Abstract Integrating population ecology and aeroecology is important for understanding dispersal dynamics of pest insects that depend on aerial habitats. Sugarcane aphid (Melanaphis sacchari) is an economic pest of sorghum in Asia, Africa, Australia, and South America and recently invaded North America, affecting over 90% of the continent’s sorghum ...

Potential of AI classification of the weather radar observations for aeroecological research
2023The benefits of the application of weather radar observations for aeroecological research are already well known to the scientific community. The advantages of long-term polarimetric weather radar observations for the detection of bird and insect migration or estimation of their abundances are used by different teams all over the world. In this context,

2011
Patterns of movement and orientation of fall migrants in southwest Nova Scotia were assessed at a meso scale (6-25 km) across multiple sites. Migration did not proceed across a broad front but, rather, depended on local features of the site or more distant factors that concentrated birds in the region in such a way that counts of targets and measures ...
