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

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.

Evaluating trends in blackbird abundance using weather surveillance radar [PDF]
, 2020 Blackbirds damage rice in the southern United States, sunflowers in the Northern Great Plains, and field and sweet corn across the continent. The efficacy of strategies to mitigate damages could be improved by knowing how and when blackbird numbers ...

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.

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

Comparing imaging, acoustics, and radar to monitor Leach’s storm-petrel colonies [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Seabirds are integral components of marine ecosystems and, with many populations globally threatened, there is a critical need for effective and scalable seabird monitoring strategies.

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.
