title: The 'aerial plankton' and atmospheric convergence.
abstract: Airborne migration is one of the most common adaptations for surviving and exploiting habitat variability. One weather feature that airborne migrants sometimes encounter, convergence, has the potential to concentrate populations in localities where climatic conditions have made a habitat temporarily favourable. Studies of migratory insects have now begun to establish which of several forms of atmospheric convergence are most likely to affect population processes.
