Capnodiaceous sooty mold phylogeny
TL;DR: Sooty mold capnodiaceous ascomycetes comprising were found to be a monophyletic group, the Capnodiales, and the convergent origin of the bitunicate ascus associated with the periphysoid sterile element is validated.
Seasonal variation in the windborne movement of insect pests over northeast India.
TL;DR: This paper describes the use of a kytoon-supported net to sample the insect fauna flying at about 150 m above a site in West Bengal, India, and found that insectaerial densities aloft often remained high untillate in the night, and deduced that migration over distances of tens, or even hundreds of kilometres was in progress-movements which would lead to redistribution of both pest and beneficial insects over large areas of northeast India.
Migratory and foraging movements in beneficial insects: A review of radar monitoring and tracking methods
TL;DR: This review considers the monitoring of high-altitude windborne movements of insect natural enemies, with emphasis on how novel vertical-looking radars are being employed to observe the migrations of aphid predators in the UK.
Orientation in high-flying migrant insects in relation to flows: mechanisms and strategies
TL;DR: A new mathematical analysis shows that ‘jerks’ (the time-derivative of accelerations) can provide indicators of wind direction at altitude, and place these new findings for insects within a wider context by comparisons with the latest research on other flying and swimming organisms.
