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.

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.

Concealed by darkness: interactions between predatory bats and nocturnally migrating songbirds illuminated by DNA sequencing [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Migrations of Birds [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1879
I NOTICED some time ago a communication in NATURE respecting this subject, stating that it would be instructive and interesting alike if naturalists would record any data they may have collected on this subject. For years now this matter has had my careful attention, and I therefore forward a few notes for the last two seasons, and also put forward the

Response of Bird Populations to Long-term Changes in Local Vegetation and Regional Forest Cover [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We analyzed data from a woodland site for a 59-year period to determine whether changes in bird populations are related to changes in the diversity and relative abundance of woody plant species even when vegetation structure, degree of forest ...

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.

Migration of Birds [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1879
PROF. NEWTON in his article on Migration of Birds (NATURE, vol. xix. p. 433) has omitted one, and a very important limit to the height at which birds of passage can perform their journeys. This is temperature. The following table of Daniell's will show how little probability there is of migratory birds flying at great elevations, and that even in low ...

A bird’s migration decoded

open access: yesNature, 2021
Technological advances offer new ways to investigate the contribution that changing climate and genes have made in shaping past migrations by peregrine falcons. Can this help to predict the fate of future migrations? How climate and genes have shaped migration by peregrine falcons.

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.

Effects of urbanization on bird migration [PDF]

open access: yesBiological Conservation, 2020
Abstract Nearly one in five bird species is migratory, but not all individuals within a migratory species necessarily migrate: in partially migratory species, some do and some do not. Such within-species variability provides a natural experiment for investigating the mechanisms driving bird migration.
