Concealed by darkness: interactions between predatory bats and nocturnally migrating songbirds illuminated by DNA sequencing [PDF]
, 2016 Recently, several species of aerial-hawking bats have been found to prey on migrating songbirds, but details on this behaviour and its relevance for bird migration are still unclear.

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 ...

Associations of Synoptic Weather Conditions With Nocturnal Bird Migration Over the North Sea
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The southern North Sea is part of an important flyway for nocturnal bird migration, but is also risky as it stretches over a large surface of water. Selecting nights with suitable weather conditions for migration can be critical for a bird’s survival ...

Spectrally Tunable 2D Material‐Based Infrared Photodetectors for Intelligent Optoelectronics
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Intelligent optoelectronics through spectral engineering of 2D material‐based infrared photodetectors. Abstract The evolution of intelligent optoelectronic systems is driven by artificial intelligence (AI). However, their practical realization hinges on the ability to dynamically capture and process optical signals across a broad infrared (IR) spectrum.

Bird migration: Flying high to avoid overheating?
Current Biology, 2021 Acts of flight have always baffled humans. Recent tracking studies of birds only add to the awe and mystery. A new study shows that migrating great snipes fly high - over two kilometres high - during the day and lower at night. Why?
