Does Strong Tropospheric Forcing Cause Large-Amplitude Mesospheric Gravity Waves? A DEEPWAVE Case Study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Geophysical Research"
DOI: 10.1002/2017jd027371
Abstract: The DEEPWAVE (deep-propagating wave experiment) campaign was designed for an airborne and ground-based exploration of gravity waves from their tropospheric sources up to their dissipation at high altitudes. It was performed in and around New… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2017rg000564
Abstract: Centimeter to meter-sized volcanic ballistic projectiles from explosive eruptions jeopardize people and properties kilometers from the volcano, but they also provide information about the past eruptions. Traditionally, projectile trajectory is modeled using simplified ballistic theory,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/advs.202207493
Abstract: In nature, some semiaquatic arthropods evolve biomechanics for jumping on the water surface with the controlled burst of kinetic energy. Emulating these creatures, miniature jumping robots deployable on the water surface have been developed, but… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajhb.70065
Abstract: Neighborhoods and the built environment play a vital role in determining our health. But the majority of studies uncovering this relationship are cross‐sectional, which can belie the fact that neighborhoods are shaped by historical processes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/brb3.70561
Abstract: The flight response is part of the repertoire of adaptive behavioral responses all animals possess and use to face threats coming from their environment. Compared to the other responses, flight requires a high degree of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6298
Abstract: Abstract The physiological demands of flight exert strong selection pressure on avian morphology and so it is to be expected that the evolutionary loss of flight capacity would involve profound changes in traits. Here, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6904
Abstract: Abstract Urbanization exposes wild animals to increased levels of light, affecting particularly nocturnal animals. Artificial light at night might shift the balance of predator–prey interactions, for example, of nocturnal echolocating bats and eared moths. Moths… read more here.

Migration Strategy and Diet Affect the Metabolism of Passerine Birds During Endurance Flight
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71299
Abstract: ABSTRACT Bird migration varies greatly in overall distance and length of single flight bouts. Therefore, we expect that metabolic adaptations may also differ widely among migrants. Endurance flight is mainly fuelled by fat and complemented… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.72529
Abstract: ABSTRACT Dispersal is a key process in the spatial and temporal dynamics of insect populations. Dispersal depends on the flight performance of individual insects, which is influenced by their environment, morphology, and physiological state. Temperature… read more here.
