Non-parallel changes in songbird migration timing are not explained by changes in stopover duration [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Shifts in the timing of animal migration are widespread and well-documented; however, the mechanism underlying these changes is largely unknown. In this study, we test the hypothesis that systematic changes in stopover duration—the time that individuals ...
