Lidar profiling biological targets : - detection limits and dynamic range.

TLDR
In this paper, the authors present recent advances and applications of profiling biological targets with Scheimpflug lidar and demonstrate applications for profiling the aerofauna and classifying various groups of species.
Abstract
Here we present recent advances and applications of profiling biological targets with Scheimpflug lidar. In particular we demonstrate applications for profiling the aerofauna and classifying various groups of species. Based on lidar data over the Ivorian countryside we investigate range dependent detection limits by comparing data with distinct sample rates and pulse energies.

Super Resolution Laser Radar with Blinking Atmospheric Particles - Application to Interacting Flying Insects

TL;DR: In this paper, a laser-radar system for field entomology based on the so-called Scheimpflug principle and a continuous-wave laser was developed, where the sample-rate of this method is unconstrained by the roundtrip time of the light, and the method allows assessment of the fast oscillatory insect wing-beats and harmonics over kilometers range, e.g., for species identification and relating abundances to the topography.

The bat–bird–bug battle: daily flight activity of insects and their predators over a rice field revealed by high-resolution Scheimpflug Lidar

TL;DR: The results of the first Lidar study applied to continuous and simultaneous monitoring of aerial insects, bats and birds in China illustrate how common patterns of flight activity, e.g. insect swarming around twilight, depend on predation risk and other constraints acting on the faunal components.

Photonic Monitoring of Atmospheric and Aquatic Fauna

TL;DR: In this paper, the emerging field of optics and laser-based monitoring of flying fauna is reviewed with an emphasis on remote sensing based on pulsed and contineous wave (CW) lidar systems, and how they complement existing radar techniques.
