Multigenerational migration of fall armyworm, a pest insect (2019, background): “…air temperature, wind speed, or wind direction can lead to concentration of migrating insects into relatively thin altitudinal layers (Drake 1985, Drake and Reynolds 2012), in which the insects may be immersed in a low-level wind jet of high speed and favorable heading (for arriving at locations…”
Interpreting insect declines: seven challenges and a way forward (2020, background): “Another technology that is rapidly gaining traction in biological monitoring is the use of specialised entomological radar (Drake & Reynolds, 2012; Hu et al., 2016; Wotton et al., 2019) and more recently dopplerised weather radar networks, which may span continents (Hüppop et al., 2019).”
Super Resolution Laser Radar with Blinking Atmospheric Particles - Application to Interacting Flying Insects (2014, unknown): “While research in the area of radar entomology has been conducted over several decades and numerous interesting applications have been described [4], laser radar (light detection and ranging; lidar) systems in the optical regime have the potential of achieving a far better sensitivity and address an”
