Abstract: Summary Male honeybees (drones) are thought to congregate in large numbers in particular “drone congregation areas” to mate. We used harmonic radar to record the flight paths of individual drones and found that drones favored… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-40355-6
Abstract: The dispersal of animals from their birth place has profound effects on the immediate survival and longer-term persistence of populations. Molecular studies have estimated that bumblebee colonies can be established many kilometers from their queens’… read more here.

DOI: 10.1049/el.2020.0779
Abstract: Harmonic radar transponders are passive RF tags that produce a harmonic response when illuminated with an RF signal. With a Schottky diode as the main component, the tag current is usually modelled as an exponential… read more here.
