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.

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.

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.

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.

Development of lateralization of the magnetic compass in a migratory bird [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The magnetic compass of a migratory bird, the European robin (Erithacus rubecula), was shown to be lateralized in favour of the right eye/left brain hemisphere.

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.

Avian Haemosporidian blood parasite infections at a migration hotspot in Eilat, Israel [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Haemosporidian blood parasites are frequent amongst passerines. Though they often do not cause detectable  consequences to host health, however, their presence or absence and also their prevalence across host  populations may potentially carry ...
