Geomagnetic and visual cues guide seasonal migratory orientation in the nocturnal fall armyworm, the worlds most invasive insect

This study shows that fall armyworms use both geomagnetic and visual cues for migratory orientation, with visual cues being essential for magnetic navigation and flight stability.

Mistimed surveys lead to underestimated migratory bird impacts from wind farms

The paper evaluates survey timing for migratory birds at wind farms and finds that half of surveys are not optimal, leading to underestimated impacts.

Pathogens spread by high-altitude windborne mosquitoes

The paper identifies pathogens in high-altitude windborne mosquitoes, showing they are infectious and capable of spreading diseases over long distances.

Analysis of mixtures of birds and insects in weather radar data

This paper develops a method to estimate bird and insect proportions in weather radar data, showing it captures expected migratory patterns in understudied regions.

Invasion and spread of the neotropical leafhopper Curtara insularis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in Africa and North America and the role of high-altitude windborne migration in invasive insects

This study investigates the invasion of Curtara insularis in Africa and North America, finding that high-altitude windborne dispersal plays a key role in its spread.
