Time‐stressed Bar‐tailed Godwits exploit novel prey during migratory fuelling

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1681-1695, October 2026.
Long‐distance migratory birds breeding in the Arctic face challenges as earlier snowmelt shifts the timing of vital resources. To keep up with these advancements, birds will need to modify their migration. Higher fuelling rates during stopover have been identified as a critical mechanism for accelerating migration, but this requires adequate food ...
