Home Page
This site endeavours to provide some basic information about radar entomology, a comprehensive address list of everyone working in the field, a comprehensive bibliography, and links to other sites containing information on the technique and its applications. Some historical material has also been included.
Radar
Entomology - an Introduction describes how radar is used to study insect flight and
migration. There are sections on theory and phenomena,
on the history of the technique and its application (including
a comprehensive list of field studies with species, location, and references to
any resulting publications), on current projects and developments,
and on possible future developments. There are also collections
of photographs of past and present entomological radars and
of images of radar displays showing echoes from insects.
The
Radar Entomology Web Directory contains links to other sites on radar entomology.
Radar Entomology - Forthcoming Events provides information on any forthcoming conferences or similar meetings in which there will be a radar-entomology component.
The main
application of entomological radars is for studying insect migration, especially of species that are pests. The
TREWS Insect
Migration page links to sites describing current research projects on insect population movements. Radar is now also being used to
study foraging flights.
Questions
and Answers contains extracts from correspondence with TREWS
users. There are discussions on a variety of topics relating to both radar entomology
and insect migration.
The
Radar Entomology On-line Bibliography is a comprehensive listing of the scientific literature of
radar entomology.

Note: TREWS pages have been designed to be viewed with a browser window ~640 pixels wide, i.e. full-screen on a standard 640×480 VGA display but less than full screen on higher-resolution displays. The background on this page should show a "270" at left and a "90" at right, and should not repeat horizontally. If viewed at other widths, layout of pages etc. may be degraded.
Backgrounds of The Radar Entomology Web Site pages are plan-position indicator (PPI) images of insect migration in Australia, made with the CSIRO Entomological Radar.
