Aeroecology

Aeroecology is the study of how airborne organisms—like birds, insects, bats, and even some plants—interact with their environment in the atmosphere. It examines their movement patterns, migration routes, and how they are affected by weather, wind, and climate. This field integrates ecology, meteorology, and technology to better understand the role aerial creatures play in ecosystems and how they respond to environmental changes. Aeroecology helps inform conservation efforts, predict migration timing, and assess the impact of human activities on wildlife that depend on the airspace.
