Global Hawk dropsonde observations of the Arctic atmosphere obtained during the Winter Storms and Pacific Atmospheric Rivers (WISPAR) field campaign by J. M. Intrieri, G. de Boer, G. de Boer, M. D. Shupe, M. D. Shupe, J. R. Spackman, J. R. Spackman, J. Wang, J. Wang, P. J. Neiman, G. A. Wick, T. F. Hock, R. E. Hood

“…Dropsondes deployed from the Global Hawk successfully obtained high-resolution profiles of temperature, pressure, humidity, and wind information between the stratosphere and surface. The 35 m wingspan Global Hawk, which can soar for ~ 31 h at altitudes up to ~ 20 km, was remotely operated from NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base (AFB) in California. …”

What Drives Caterpillar Guilds on a Tree: Enemy Pressure, Leaf or Tree Growth, Genetic Traits, or Phylogenetic Neighbourhood? by Freerk Molleman, Urszula Walczak, Iwona Melosik, Edward Baraniak, Łukasz Piosik, Andreas Prinzing

“…Neighbourhoods and traits of trees were also related to community composition and diversity, but not to the average wingspans or specialization of species, consistent with the assembly of herbivore communities being driven by leaf traits and parasitism pressure on trees rather than by insect movement among trees. …”
