MIGRATORY BIRDS CAN USE A DRINK
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2004![Figure][1] Migration can be quite a challenge for birds traversing large oceans or vast deserts. Many migrants fatten up before they start their journey. Still, especially small birds also need to refuel once they are underway.

Genetic control of migratory behaviour in birds
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1991Although it has long been suspected that biannual migration in birds has a direct genetic basis, only in the last decade have details of the inheritance of behavioural traits such as migratory activity and directional preferences been demonstrated. A model has now been developed to estimate how inexperienced first-time migrants manage to reach their ...

Typical Migratory Birds: Endogenously Programmed Animals
1984Typical migratory bird species, i.e. intercontinental long-distance migrants, are characterized by exceedingly precise aviation in a temporal sense despite the fact that they often frequent areas with weak environmental information on seasons. For centuries “endogenous” guiding components for migrants have been postulated, but more comprehensive ...

Migratory birds and climate change
1997Of all terrestrial organisms, birds might be expected to respond most rapidly and appropriately to the rapid changes in global climate anticipated during the next century. As warm-blooded endotherms, they are unlikely to be affected directly by small increases in temperature or carbon dioxide concentrations, but they will need to respond to shifts in ...
