What is Radar Entomology : Observing Insect Flight and Migration about?
Abstract 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 radar and the biological phenomena that entomologists have studied with radars. An outline of alternative and complementary methods for studying insect movement and a brief historical account of developments in the field are included. Chapter 2 introduces the fundamentals of remote sensing and briefly summarizes some entomological applications of it that do not involve radio technology. The technique and theory underlying radar entomology are covered in chapters 3-8, whereas the principal biological findings that have resulted from the use of radar technology are discussed in chapters 9-14. This book is intended primarily for entomologists, although this publication may also be useful to behaviourists, ecologists, biometeorologists, radar ornithologists and radar meteorologists.
