Avian migration clocks in a changing world. [PDF]
J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav PhysiolAbstractAvian long-distance migration requires refined programming to orchestrate the birds’ movements on annual temporal and continental spatial scales. Programming is particularly important as long-distance movements typically anticipate future environmental conditions. Hence, migration has long been of particular interest in chronobiology. Captivity

A multi-sensor array for detecting and analyzing nocturnal avian migration [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Avian migration has fascinated humans for centuries. Insights into the lives of migrant birds are often elusive; however, recent, standalone technological innovations have revolutionized our understanding of this complex biological phenomenon.

A weather surveillance radar view of Alaskan avian migration. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2021 Monitoring avian migration within subarctic regions of the globe poses logistical challenges. Populations in these regions often encounter the most rapid effects of changing climates, and these seasonally productive areas are especially important in supporting bird populations—emphasizing the need for monitoring tools and strategies.

Diet of breeding Eleonora's falcon Falco eleonorae in Algeria: Insights for the autumn trans‐Mediterranean avian migration [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 How environmental changes are affecting bird population dynamics is one of the most challenging conservation issues. Dietary studies of top avian predators could offer scope to monitor anthropogenic drivers of ecosystem changes.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and ConservationThe Alps are a natural barrier for avian broad‐front migration in Central Europe. While most birds that approach the Alps are deflected and circumvent the mountains, some choose to make the crossing.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Arctic migration presents unique challenges to circadian physiology. In addition to the metabolic cost of maintaining a relatively high body temperature (Tb) above ambient temperature, migratory birds are also exposed to rapidly changing light conditions

High individual repeatability of the migratory behaviour of a long-distance migratory seabird
Movement Ecology, 2022 Background Understanding the evolution of migration requires knowledge of the patterns, sources, and consequences of variation in migratory behaviour, a need exacerbated by the fact that many migratory species show rapid population declines and require ...

Occurrence of sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) in the Russian Arctic
Polar Research, 2020 We report two sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) strandings observed in the south-east corner of the Barents Sea (i.e., Pechora Sea) in 2018, unusually far from the species’ hitherto known distribution.
