Migratory swans individually adjust their autumn migration and winter range to a warming climate
Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 24, Page 6888-6899, December 2023., 2023 Little is known about how migratory animals respond to climate warming in the non‐breeding season, and how such responses can lead to range shifts. Using multi‐year GPS tracks of Bewick's swans, large Arctic‐breeding migratory waterbirds, we examined the effect of temperature on autumn migration and interannual winter distance.

The agential perspective: Countermapping the modern synthesis
Evolution &Development, Volume 25, Issue 6, Page 335-352, November 2023., 2023 The figure depicts and summarizes two perspectives on the evolution of organisms, from past to present. On the left is a depiction of the Modern Synthesis Perspective, which depicts a gene's‐eye‐view of an organism's evolutionary history from left to right, and identifies the universal dynamics and distortion of biological details that accompany it. On

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 1, Page 61-74, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim We explored the range shifts of alien and native birds, the responses of alien and native β‐diversity to abiotic factors, and the effect of native diversity on alien β‐diversity in two time periods. Location Great Britain. Time period 1968–1972, 2007–2011. Taxa studied Breeding birds.

Regional wind patterns likely shape a seasonal migration detour
Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 51, Issue 11, November 2020., 2020 Migrating animals should optimise time and energy use when migrating, travelling directly to their destination. Detours from the most direct route may arise however because of barriers and weather conditions. Identifying how such situations arise from variable weather conditions is crucial to understand population response in the light of increased ...

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2020., 2020 Despite the wealth of studies on seasonal movements of birds between southern nonbreeding locations and High Arctic breeding locations, the key mechanisms of navigation during these migrations remain elusive. A flight along the shortest possible route between pairs of points on a sphere (‘orthodrome’) requires a bird to be able to assess its current ...

Underground testing: Name‐altering practices as probes in electronic music
The British Journal of Sociology, Volume 71, Issue 3, Page 572-589, June 2020., 2020 Abstract Name‐altering practices are common in many creative fields—pen names in literature, stage names in the performing arts, and aliases in music. More than just reflecting artistic habits or responding to the need for distinctive brands, these practices can also serve as test devices to probe, validate, and guide the artists’ active participation ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 664-669, May 2020., 2020 Abstract Visualizing movement data is challenging: While traditional spatial data can be sufficiently displayed as two‐dimensional plots or maps, movement trajectories require the representation of time in a third dimension. To address this, we present moveVis, an r package, which provides tools to animate movement trajectories, overlaying simultaneous

Hypotheses and tracking results about the longest migration: The case of the arctic tern
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 17, Page 9511-9531, September 2019., 2019 The arctic tern is probably the animal that performs the longest known migrations. We used geolocator tracking data from a population of arctic terns from the Baltic Sea for evaluating the ecology and evolution of its long‐distance pelagic migration.

Journal of Advanced Transportation, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 In China, air traffic congestion has become increasingly prominent and tends to spread from terminal areas to en route networks. Accurate and objective traffic demand prediction could alleviate congestion effectively. However, the usual demand prediction is based on conjecture method of flying track, and the number of aircraft flying over a sector in a

Accuracy Improvement of Discharge Measurement with Modification of Distance Made Good Heading
Advances in Meteorology, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016 Remote control boats equipped with an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) are widely accepted and have been welcomed by many hydrologists for water discharge, velocity profile, and bathymetry measurements. The advantages of this technique include high productivity, fast measurements, operator safety, and high accuracy.
