Evidence that birds sleep in mid-flight
Nature Communications, 2016 Whether and how birds sleep during long-distance flights has remained a mystery. Here, Rattenborg and colleagues show for the first time that frigatebirds can sleep during flight, but do so in remarkably small amounts.

Journal of Field Ornithology, 2023 Although there is abundant evidence that migrant landbirds have modified their migratory timing in response to climate change, few studies have looked for evidence of long-term changes in site use or function, while even fewer studies have looked for ...

Analyzing time‐ordered event data with missed observations
Ecology and Evolution, 2017 A common problem with observational datasets is that not all events of interest may be detected. For example, observing animals in the wild can difficult when animals move, hide, or cannot be closely approached. We consider time series of events recorded

Ecologic Immunology of Avian Influenza (H5N1) in Migratory Birds
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007 The claim that migratory birds are responsible for the long-distance spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses of subtype H5N1 rests on the assumption that infected wild birds can remain asymptomatic and migrate long distances unhampered.

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023 In both captive and free-living birds, the emergence of the migratory phenotype is signalled by rapid and marked increases in food intake and fuelling, as well as changes in amount of nocturnality or migratory restlessness.

Flyway connectivity and exchange primarily driven by moult migration in geese
Movement Ecology, 2019 Background For the conservation and management of migratory species that strongly decrease or increase due to anthropological impacts, a clear delineation of populations and quantification of possible mixing (migratory connectivity) is crucial.

Migration stopover ecology of Cinnamon Teal in western North America
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Identifying migration routes and fall stopover sites of Cinnamon Teal (Spatula cyanoptera septentrionalium) can provide a spatial guide to management and conservation efforts, and address vulnerabilities in wetland networks that support migratory ...

Pathogens, 2021 Determining the prevalence and local transmission dynamics of parasitic organisms are necessary to understand the ability of parasites to persist in host populations and disperse across regions, yet local transmission dynamics, diversity, and ...

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2022 Hundreds of millions of birds are estimated to die annually in North America by colliding with windows, and understanding the species-level correlates of collision mortality is an important step towards mitigation.
