Flight plays a central role in the life histories of birds but is extremely energy demanding. Reproduction is also associated with high energy demands. We might thus expect to see differences in movement behaviour between individuals that breed successfully, those that breed unsuccessfully, and those that do not breed, assuming that individuals adapt ...

Shorebirds typically spend more time fueling and refueling during migration than they spend in actual flight, and consequently their stopover ecology has important implications for fitness and conservation. We examined spatial variation and long‐term changes in stopover duration of radio‐tagged western sandpipers Calidris mauri over three decades on ...

Balancing moult, migration, and breeding in a long‐lived partially migrant raptor
Moult, breeding, and migration are the three major life‐history events in the annual cycle of birds. All are energetically demanding processes that rarely overlap. In large raptors such as the Egyptian vulture Neophron percnopterus, completing a full moult may take more than one year, requiring birds to balance this process with other life‐cycle events.

1. The skull features a broad, dorsoventrally flattened frontal region articulating with an elongated upper jaw that is complemented by the mandible's downward bend along its proximal half. 2. The low mechanical advantage in the mandible is attributed to the reduced and shallow insertion areas of the adductor muscles, which are positioned close to the ...
