PRODIGE - envelope to disk with NOEMA III. The origin of complex organic molecule emission in SVS13A
(EDP Sciences, 2024)Complex organic molecules (COMs) have been found toward low-mass protostars, but the origins of the COM emission are still unclear. It can be associated with, for example, hot corinos, outflows, and/or accretion shock and ... -
Continental-scale patterns in diel flight timing of high-altitude migratory insects
(The Royal Society, 6 May 2024)Many insects depend on high-altitude, migratory movements during part of their life cycle. The daily timing of these migratory movements is not random, e.g. many insect species show peak migratory flight activity at dawn, ... -
Effects of nocturnal celestial illumination on high-flying migrant insects
(The Royal Society, 6 May 2024)Radar networks hold great promise for monitoring population trends of migrating insects. However, it is important to elucidate the nature of responses to environmental cues. We use data from a mini-network of vertical-looking ... -
Novel pheromone-mediated reproductive behaviour in the stag beetle, Lucanus cervus
(Nature Research, 12 March 2024)The iconic European stag beetle (Lucanus cervus) (Coleoptera: Lucanidae) is one of the largest terrestrial beetles in Europe. Due to decreasing population numbers, thought to be a consequence of habitat loss, this beetle ... -
Massive seasonal high-altitude migrations of nocturnal insects above the agricultural plains of East China
(National Academy of Sciences, 22 April 2024)Long-distance migrations of insects contribute to ecosystem functioning but also have important economic impacts when the migrants are pests or provide ecosystem services. We combined radar monitoring, aerial sampling, and ...
