“…Recent works continue to fill research gaps in equipment [ 96 , 97 , 98 ], reflectivity, and insects’ geometrical characteristics [ 99 , 100 , 101 , 102 ]. As shown earlier, radar applications focus on either biodiversity/conservation [ 103 , 104 , 105 , 106 , 107 ] or agriculture (economically important insects [ 108 , 109 , 110 ] and pest management [ 21 , 111 , 112 , 113 , 114 , 115 , 116 ]).…”

“…Among recent relevant works on technically advanced insect monitoring, we want to distinguish research on small insects’ vertical motion using millimeter-wavelength radar and Doppler lidar for insect pest detection [ 20 ], migration, and monitoring. Radar and lidar systems also played a vital role in another recent article on insect pest detection and migration monitoring [ 21 ].…”

Drastic declines in insect populations are a vital concern worldwide. Despite widespread insect monitoring, the significant gaps in the literature must be addressed. Future monitoring techniques must be systematic and global. Advanced technologies and computer solutions are needed. We provide here a review of relevant works to show the high potential for solving the aforementioned problems. Major historical and modern methods of insect monitoring are considered. All major radar solutions are carefully reviewed. Insect monitoring with radar is a well established technique, but it is still a fast-growing topic. The paper provides an updated classification of insect radar sets. Three main groups of insect radar solutions are distinguished: scanning, vertical-looking, and harmonic. Pulsed radar sets are utilized for all three groups, while frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) systems are applied only for vertical-looking and harmonic insect radar solutions. This work proves the high potential of radar entomology based on the growing research interest, along with the emerging novel setups, compact devices, and data processing approaches. The review exposes promising insect monitoring solutions using compact radar instruments. The proposed compact and resource-effective setups can be very beneficial for systematic insect monitoring.

“…Currently available radars, used in insect migration research, can be categorized into weather radar and entomological radar. Weather radar records the echoes emitted by insects and provides information on insect movement, whereas entomological radar monitors the speed, direction, altitude and flight activity of insect migration (scanning radar) and can identify species based on insect mass, wingbeat frequency and body shape (vertical‐beam radar) 9 . Insect‐detecting radar technology operates at millimeter wavelengths 10 or with full polarization technology 11 .…”

The implementation of precision farming technologies into agricultural practice requires, among other things, precise determination of the extent and intensity of insect infestation in the farmer' fields. Manual insect identification is time‐consuming and has low efficiency, especially for large fields. Therefore, scientists and practitioners devote much effort to the automatization of this process. There are two complementary approaches to insect identification: (i) direct, in which the insect (ultimately the species) is determined, and (ii) indirect, in which the damage caused by the insects is monitored and forms the basis on which to formulate the information about insect infestation. A mini‐review of both approaches is presented in this work. Additionally, the advantages and disadvantages of each are briefly described. Methods of insect identification are still characterized by relatively small selectivity and efficiency, therefore it is necessary to keep searching for new methods and improve the development of existing ones. The goal of such systems should be to work in real time and be inexpensive to run, enabling widespread use amongst farmers. A possible solution seems to be integrating various techniques (sensor fusion) into a single measurement system. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry

Pests, pathogens and diseases cause some of the most widespread and damaging impacts worldwide — threatening lives and leading to severe disruption to economic, environmental and social systems. The overarching goal of biosecurity is to protect the health and security of plants and animals (including humans) and the wider environment from these threats. As nearly all living organisms and biological systems are sensitive to weather and climate, meteorological, ‘met’, data are used extensively in biosecurity. Typical applications include, (i) bioclimatic modelling to understand and predict organism distributions and responses, (ii) risk assessment to estimate the probability of events and horizon scan for future potential risks, and (iii) early warning systems to support outbreak management. Given the vast array of available met data types and sources, selecting which data is most effective for each of these applications can be challenging. Here we provide an overview of the different types of met data available and highlight their use in a wide range of biosecurity studies and applications. We argue that there are many synergies between meteorology and biosecurity, and these provide opportunities for more widespread integration and collaboration across the disciplines. To help communicate typical uses of meteorological data in biosecurity to a wide audience we have designed the ‘Meteorology for biosecurity’ infographic.
