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.

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.

Do Arctic waders use adaptive wind drift? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We analysed five data sets of flight directions of migrating arctic waders in relation to winds, recorded by tracking radar and optical range finder, in order to find out if these birds compensate for wind drift, or allow themselves to be drifted by ...

Influence of temperature and rainfall on the timing of the spring migration of Eurasian Wren Troglodytes troglodytes through the southern Baltic coast

open access: yesThe European Zoological Journal
Climate factors shape the spring phenology of migrant birds in Europe. We examined carry-over effects of temperature and rainfall in four regions of Europe on the spring migration timing of a medium-distance migrant, Eurasian Wren, at the southern Baltic

Advances in Magnesium‐Based Thermoelectrics: A Critical Review

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Magnesium‐based thermoelectric materials have emerged as promising candidates for low‐to‐mid‐temperature energy conversion due to their abundance, low cost, and competitive performance. This review summarizes recent advances in Mg3X2, MgAgSb, and Mg2X systems, covering transport mechanisms, fabrication strategies, stability challenges, and device ...

The importance of analysis method for breeding bird survey population trend estimates

open access: yes, 2009
Population trends from the Breeding Bird Survey are widely used to focus conservation efforts on species thought to be in decline and to test preliminary hypotheses regarding the causes of these declines. A number of statistical methods have been used to

Designable van der Waals Crystal for Artificial Neuronal Cell Mimicking

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Designable van der Waals crystal has been demonstrated for device‐scale neuronal cell mimicking. The structural similarity between ion‐channel in biological membranes and layered vdW lattices is realized with nano‐crystallization via Ar + H2S plasma sulfurization.

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.

The Migration of Birds [PDF]

open access: yesThe American Naturalist, 1874
MORE than four years ago an article, headed as above, appeared in this journal (vol. x. p. 415) giving rise to some comments of more or less importance (torn, cit., pp. 459, 520, and xi. p. 5). Since that time two very remarkable treatises on the subject have come forth, the one by Dr.
