Large-Scale Climatic Patterns Have Stronger Carry-Over Effects than Local Temperatures on Spring Phenology of Long-Distance Passerine Migrants between Europe and Africa

open access: yesAnimals, 2022
Earlier springs in temperate regions since the 1980s, attributed to climate change, are thought to influence the earlier arrival of long-distance migrant passerines.

Matching times of leading and following suggest cooperation through direct reciprocity during V-formation flight in ibis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
One conspicuous feature of several larger bird species is their annual migration in V-shaped or echelon formation. When birds are flying in these formations, energy savings can be achieved by using the aerodynamic up-wash produced by the preceding bird ...

Altitudinal migration behavior patterns of birds on the eastern slope of Mt. Gongga, China

open access: yesAvian Research, 2023
Many bird species in montane regions exhibit altitudinal migration behavior; however, altitudinal migration of birds is still understudied, especially in Asia. Mt. Gongga (7556 ​m) is the highest peak of the Hengduan Mountains in Southwest China.

Autumn migration strategy of juvenile great reed warblers Acrocephalus arundinaceus on the eastern European flyway: a spatiotemporal pattern of accumulation and utilisation of energy stores

open access: yesThe European Zoological Journal, 2020
The great reed warbler Acrocephalus arundinaceus is a common migrant through the Western Palearctic. However, its migration strategy, especially the spatiotemporal pattern of accumulation and utilisation of energy stores en route, is poorly known.

Neotropical Bird Migration During The Ice Ages: Orientation And Ecology [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Reconstruction of breeding habitat of North American Neotropical migrants 18,000 years ago and 9,000 years ago indicated major shifts in both location and composition of plant communities relative to present conditions.

Spatial structure in migration routes maintained despite regional convergence among eastern populations of Swainson’s Thrushes

open access: yesMovement Ecology, 2021
Background Migratory connectivity links the different populations across the full cycle and across the species range and may lead to differences in survival among populations.

The Isolation and Identification of Bacteria on Feathers of Migratory Bird Species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Worldwide, bacteria are the most ubiquitous microorganisms, and it has been extensively demonstrated that migratory wild birds can increase bacterial global scale dispersion through long-distance migration and dispersal. The microbial community hosted by

Cold spell en route delays spring arrival and decreases apparent survival in a long-distance migratory songbird

open access: yesBMC Ecology, 2017
Background Adjusting the timing of annual events to gradual changes in environmental conditions is necessary for population viability. However, adaptations to weather extremes are poorly documented in migratory species.

Shifts in vegetation phenology along flyways entail varying risks of mistiming in a migratory songbird

open access: yesEcosphere, 2016
Long‐term shifts in vegetation phenology generally follow the pattern of global warming. Yet, topographical complexity and biome diversity cause uneven spatial trends in the phenological response of vegetation to climate change.
