Facing the Wind: The Aeroecology of Vertebrate Migrants

open access: yes, 2017
The 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

Multi-Camera Videography Methods for Aeroecology

open access: yes, 2017
The 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.

The Lofty Lives of Aerial Consumers: Linking Population Ecology and Aeroecology

open access: yes, 2017
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Integrating 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 ...

A multistatic Doppler radar system with application to aeroecology

open access: yes2017 IEEE Radar Conference (RadarConf), 2017
This paper focuses on a distributed multistatic Doppler radar system for use in aeroecology applications. The system is composed of five spatially separated receiving stations and three transmitting stations operating in offset frequency channels in S-band.

Aeroecology of audience with split systems

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
Abstract The purpose of the study is to assess the level of bacterial and fungal contamination of the split system elements and air in air-conditioned rooms. The research method included the quantitative accounting of microorganisms on the surfaces of split-system filters and in the air of university classrooms.

The aeroecology of atmospheric convergence zones: the case of pallid swifts

Oikos, 2022
Trans‐Saharan migratory bird species encounter large scale seasonal atmospheric convergence zones, where opposing monsoon and continental air masses meet. These macro‐scale atmospheric conditions determine local weather, influence migratory and foraging behaviour and seasonal bird survival rates.

Radar as a Key to Global Aeroecology

2022
Open, systematic, and global approaches are needed to address the challenges of aeroconservation and pest management. Recent technical progress enables deeper investigation and understanding of aeroecology. Radar plays a central role in flying species monitoring in the global scope. The technology provides various ways of target detection and tracking,

Estimating large birds’ radar cross-section for aeroecology studies using T-matrix modelling

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Society Interface
Radar technology has become a powerful tool for studying animal aeroecology in the lower atmosphere, particularly bird migration across large spatio-temporal scales. Quantifying bird density from radar data requires radar cross-section (RCS) estimates. Although RCS data exist for small bird species, large birds, especially soaring and flocking species,
