Smell of green leaf volatiles attracts white storks to freshly cut meadows
Scientific Reports, 2021 Finding food is perhaps the most important task for all animals. Birds often show up unexpectedly at novel food sources such as freshly tilled fields or mown meadows.

MoveApps: a serverless no-code analysis platform for animal tracking data
Movement Ecology, 2022 Background Bio-logging and animal tracking datasets continuously grow in volume and complexity, documenting animal behaviour and ecology in unprecedented extent and detail, but greatly increasing the challenge of extracting knowledge from the data ...

Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Seasonal changes in the environment can lead to astonishing adaptations. A few small mammals with exceptionally high metabolisms have evolved a particularly extreme strategy: they shrink before winter and regrow in spring, including changes of greater ...

Movement Ecology, 2022 Background Although some migratory birds may take different routes during their outbound and inbound migration, the factors causing these differential migrations to and from the breeding grounds, have rarely been investigated.

Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Migration is a complex behaviour that is costly in terms of time, energy and risk of mortality. Thermal soaring birds rely on airflow, specifically wind support and uplift, to offset their energetic costs of flight. Their migratory routes are a record of

Merging computational fluid dynamics and machine learning to reveal animal migration strategies
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Understanding how migratory animals interact with dynamic physical environments remains a major challenge in migration biology. Interactions between migrants and wind and water currents are often poorly resolved in migration models due to both the lack ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Global climate change affects many aspects of biology and has been shown to cause body size changes in animals. However, suitable datasets allowing the analysis of long‐term relationships between body size, climate, and its effects are rare.

Health monitoring in birds using bio-loggers and whole blood transcriptomics
Scientific Reports, 2021 Monitoring and early detection of emerging infectious diseases in wild animals is of crucial global importance, yet reliable ways to measure immune status and responses are lacking for animals in the wild. Here we assess the usefulness of bio-loggers for

Arctic Migratory Raptor Selects Nesting Area During the Previous Breeding Season
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Migratory species have a limited time for habitat selection upon arrival at the breeding grounds. This is especially evident in arctic migrants, which are restricted by a narrow window of opportunity when environmental conditions are favorable for ...

Effect of harness design for tag attachment on the flight performance of five soaring species
Movement Ecology, 2023 Background Bio-logging devices play a fundamental and indispensable role in movement ecology studies, particularly in the wild. However, researchers are aware of the influence that attaching devices can have on animals, particularly on their behaviour ...
