Challenges and benefits of using unstructured citizen science data to estimate seasonal timing of bird migration across large scales. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Millions of bird observations have been entered on online portals in the past 20 years either as checklists or arbitrary individual entries. While several hundred publications have been written on a variety of topics based on bird checklists worldwide ...

Predator–Prey Dynamics Between Eurasian Sparrowhawk and Its Bird Prey During Spring Migration in the Forests at Hel Peninsula (N Poland) over 1982–2024 [PDF]
AnimalsClimate change in Europe can influence the predator–prey interactions, a scarcely studied topic in birds. We examined relationships between the spring passage timing of the Eurasian Sparrowhawk, a generalist peak predator, and its main bird prey species (

The global importance of grasslands underlined by the combination of multiple telemetry tracking techniques of a trans-equatorial loop migrant bird, the European roller (Coracias garrulus) [PDF]
Movement EcologyMigrant birds encounter different conditions and threats across seasons, so their population dynamics are affected by the events in both breeding and nonbreeding seasons.

Synchrony of Bird Migration with Global Dispersal of Avian Influenza Reveals Exposed Bird Orders [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsHighly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) A H5, particularly clade 2.3.4.4, has caused worldwide outbreaks in domestic poultry, occasional spillover to humans, and increasing deaths of diverse species of wild birds since 2014.

Age-dependent differences in iris colouration of passerines during autumn migration in Central Europe [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Avian eye colour changes with age, but many aspects of this transition are still insufficiently understood. We examined if an individual’s sex, age, species and body condition are related to the iris colour in common migratory passerines during their ...

Climate in Africa sequentially shapes spring passage of Willow Warbler Phylloscopus trochilus across the Baltic coast [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background Many migrant birds have been returning to Europe earlier in spring since the 1980s. This has been attributed mostly to an earlier onset of spring in Europe, but we found the timing of Willow Warblers’ passage to be influenced by climate ...
