Radar has been used to study insects in flight for over 40 years and has helped to establish
the ubiquity of several migration phenomena: dawn, morning, and dusk takeoffs; …

Migrating animals have an impact on ecosystems directly via influxes of predators, prey, and
competitors and indirectly by vectoring nutrients, energy, and pathogens. Although linkages …

Atmospheric dynamics strongly influence the migration of flying organisms. They affect,
among others, the onset, duration and cost of migration, migratory routes, stop-over …

Many insects undertake long-range seasonal migrations to exploit temporary breeding sites
hundreds or thousands of kilometers apart, but the behavioral adaptations that facilitate …

This book (10 chapters) covers radar entomology and its application in the study and
monitoring of insect flight and migration. Chapter 1 provides a general introduction to both …

Long‐range, seasonal migration is a widespread phenomenon among insects, allowing
them to track and exploit abundant but ephemeral resources over vast geographical areas …

Many insects depend on high-altitude, migratory movements during part of their life cycle.
The daily timing of these migratory movements is not random, eg many insect species show …

Numerous insect species undertake regular seasonal migrations in order to exploit
temporary breeding habitats [1]. These migrations are often achieved by high-altitude …

Vast numbers of insects and passerines achieve long-distance migrations between summer
and winter locations by undertaking high-altitude nocturnal flights. Insects such as noctuid …

The number of species of migratory Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) reported each year
at a site in the south of the UK has been rising steadily. This number is very strongly linked to …
