Wind prevents cliff-breeding birds from accessing nests through loss of flight control

eLife, 2019
For fast-flying birds, the ability to respond to wind during landing is critical, as errors can lead to injury or even death. Nonetheless, landing ability, and its ecological significance, remain unstudied.

Adaptive drift and barrier-avoidance by a fly-forage migrant along a climate-driven flyway

Movement Ecology, 2021
Background Route choice and travel performance of fly-forage migrants are partly driven by large-scale habitat availability, but it remains unclear to what extent wind support through large-scale wind regimes moulds their migratory behaviour. We aimed to

Aeroecology meets aviation safety: early warning systems in Europe and the Middle East prevent collisions between birds and aircraft [PDF]

Ecography, 2019
The aerosphere is utilized by billions of birds, moving for different reasons and from short to great distances spanning tens of thousands of kilometres. The aerosphere, however, is also utilized by aviation which leads to increasing conflicts in and around airfields as well as en‐route.

Noctuid migration in Texas within the nocturnal aeroecological boundary layer [PDF]

Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2007
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) ong-distance migration of adult corn earworm moths (Helicoverpa zea), and several other noctuid moth species, facilitates seasonal expansion of pest populations and consequent increased infestations of agricultural crops on a continental scale in North America.

Flight Behavior of Individual Aerial Insectivores Revealed by Novel Altitudinal Dataloggers

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Swallows and martins (Aves: Hirundinidae) are well-studied with respect to their breeding biology, but major aspects of their individual aerial movement behavior and ecology are poorly understood.

The Great Lakes shape nocturnal bird migration in southern Ontario

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2022
Coastlines in marine areas are known to influence use of the airspace as a habitat by migrating birds, but less is known about how the complex configuration of the Great Lakes influences bird migration patterns.

Groping in the Fog: Soaring Migrants Exhibit Wider Scatter in Flight Directions and Respond Differently to Wind Under Low Visibility Conditions

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Atmospheric conditions are known to affect flight propensity, behaviour during flight, and migration route in birds. Yet, the effects of fog have only rarely been studied although they could disrupt orientation and hamper flight.

Multigenerational migration of fall armyworm, a pest insect

Ecosphere, 2019
Multigenerational insect migration commonly expands poleward, but meteorological influences are not clearly understood. We coupled biological and physical processes for the agricultural and invasive pest Spodoptera frugiperda (fall armyworm), by modeling

Chasing and surfing seasonal waves: Avian migration through the US tracks land surface phenology in fall, but not spring

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 93, Issue 7, Page 836-848, July 2024.
Coupling weather surveillance radar and remote sensing data reveals how songbird migrants in the Central Flyway experience major temperature changes during their migrations. While the green‐up of the land surface does not limit their spring progression northwards, later fall migrants may be pushed southwards by vegetation dormancy.

Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Migration: Weather, Radars, and Aeroecology

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2012
Aeroecology is an emerging scientific discipline that integrates atmospheric science, Earth science, geography, ecology, computer science, computational biology, and engineering to further the understanding of biological patterns and processes. The unifying concept underlying this new transdisciplinary field of study is a focus on the planetary ...
