DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.1967
Abstract: Windborne migration of insects is significantly influenced by meteorological factors and phenomena, such as seasonal atmospheric circulation. Large-scale movement of air provides the background for all weather and climate events. Hence, population abundances of migratory… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12520-018-0639-1
Abstract: The well-preserved Maoshan paddy fields (4700–4300 bp) were built on an intermediate landscape between the foothills and alluvial plain of the Lower Yangtze River. Despite several interdisciplinary research, there has been a lack of detailed… read more here.
