Schwebfliegen beteiligen sich an der Bestäubung von ca. 70% der Kultur- und Wildpflanzen. Thanks Myles Menz royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.10…
New paper by Boya Gao from her time in my lab, a radar study of orientation behaviour of high-flying migrant hoverflies, in Proc Roy Soc: doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2… with Karl Wotton, gao, Myles Menz & @Hawkes_Will. Sequel to our recent HF migration paper in Current Biology
Hoverflies migrating S in Autumn actively choose southward headed winds or winds that are weak enough to fly against - ignoring unfavourable winds. Fascinating little creatures. New paper from Boya Gao and the rest of us out today in The Royal Society. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.10…

Note that it is free to publish in all six of the Royal Entomological Society journals and you don't have to be a Member or Fellow to take advantage of this - just be someone producing great entomological science
ICARUS works like a charm! A long, sometimes stony way, lays behind #ICARUSinitiative. We are looking forward to groundbreaking animal science and hopefully more ICARUS and IoT systems in space soon.Migration Dept., Max Planck Inst. Animal Behavior #SMS2Space #NewWays4Space
The Death's Head Hawkmoths are coming through in far greater numbers now as we (The Genetics of Migration Lab) study #insectmigration in the Pyrenees. These moths are v migratory and will travel to Africa in the Autumn, they squeak AND they smell like honey - something they steal from honeybees!
Our paper on the drivers of Painted Lady migration, led by gao & Constanti Stefanescu, is now out in PNAS. We show that sub-Saharan winter rainfall levels is key to the numbers that arrive in Europe each spring Insect Migration Butterfly Migration University of Exeter CEC
"You can even see with the naked eye that they are drawn to the Mediterranean en masse" Myles Menz studies migration, not of birds, but of the numerous insects that pass through the alps to winter in the south. Club Alpin Suisse visits him in the field 🗻sac-cas.ch/de/die-alpen/m…
