Abstract We present the first comprehensive multi‐instrument climatological study of quiet‐time equatorial F‐region vertical plasma drifts across South America, a region where the magnetic declination angle varies significantly. Our analysis of well‐established long‐term ground‐based data sets from the Jicamarca incoherent scatter radar spanning 1968 ...

Abstract Alien plants have generally been shown to support reduced arthropod abundance, biomass, and diversity compared to native plant species, but inferences have typically come from studies limited in taxonomic and geographic scope. Here, we make use of data from a unique citizen science project, Caterpillars Count!, that consists of nearly 70,000 ...
