Using cloud radar to investigate the effect of rainfall on migratory insect flight
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 The fate of migrating insects that encounter rainfall in flight is a critical consideration when modelling insect movement, but few field observations of this common phenomenon have ever been collected due to the logistical challenges of witnessing these
