大气中有多个电荷来源，这些电荷会影响液滴聚集以及尘埃和气溶胶的清除等关键过程。这一点在大气电场的可变性中很明显。虽然已知这些电场会对物理和地质过程做出反应，但生物电荷源的影响到目前为止还没有被考虑过。在这里，我们结合理论和经验证据来证明，蜜蜂群直接贡献了大气电力，与蜂群密度成比例。我们通过比较各种成群的昆虫物种与常见的非生物电荷源的电贡献，对这一发现进行了定量评估。这表明一些虫群的电荷贡献将与气象引起的变化相媲美。因此，观察到的昆虫对电荷的传输表明，生源空间电荷对大气中的物理和生态过程具有未知的作用。航空昆虫携带电荷蜂拥而至的蜜蜂对大气电量有密度依赖性的影响昆虫对大气电量的影响类似于天气事件大气科学；大气模拟；昆虫学。
The atmosphere hosts multiple sources of electric charge that influence critical processes such as the aggregation of droplets and the removal of dust and aerosols. This is evident in the variability of the atmospheric electric field. Whereas these electric fields are known to respond to physical and geological processes, the effect of biotic sources of charge has not hitherto been considered. Here, we combine theoretical and empirical evidence to demonstrate that honeybee swarms directly contribute to atmospheric electricity, in proportion to the swarm density. We provide a quantitative assessment of this finding, by comparing the electrical contribution of various swarming insect species with common abiotic sources of charge. This reveals that the charge contribution of some insect swarms will be comparable with that of meteorologically induced variations. The observed transport of charge by insects therefore demonstrates an unexplored role of biogenic space charge for physical and ecological processes in the atmosphere. Aerial insects carry an electric charge Swarming honeybees have a density-dependent effect on atmospheric electricity Insects can have similar effects on atmospheric electricity as weather events Atmospheric science; Atmosphere modeling; Entomology.
