Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2023 Significance Understanding the en route habitat requirements of migratory birds is critical for conservation but difficult to know at a large scale. We mapped stopover density of landbirds during autumn migration for the eastern United States using radar

mSystems, 2023 Many animals migrate long distances annually, and these journeys require intense physiological and morphological adaptations. One such adaptation in shorebirds is the ability to rapidly gain weight at stopover locations in the middle of their migrations.

Does influenza A virus infection affect movement behaviour during stopover in its wild reservoir host? [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 The last decade has seen a surge in research on avian influenza A viruses (IAVs), in part fuelled by the emergence, spread and potential zoonotic importance of highly pathogenic virus subtypes.

Competition is a major limiting factor of refueling in migratory passerines during stopover
Journal of Avian Biology, 2023 For an avian migrant, refueling capacity attainable during stopovers governs the entire migration schedule and, ultimately, its fitness. Specifically, timely replenishing energy stores is critical when migration involves crossing ecological barriers ...

Beyond refueling: Investigating the diversity of functions of migratory stopover events
Ornithological Applications, 2021 Stopovers comprise a significant proportion of the time that many birds spend migrating, and researchers have long relied on these events to define and classify broader migratory strategies.

Linking migration and microbiota at a major stopover site in a long-distance avian migrant
Movement Ecology, 2022 Migration is one of the most physical and energetically demanding periods in an individual bird’s life. The composition of the bird’s gut or cloacal microbiota can temporarily change during migration, likely due to differences in diets, habitats and ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Coastal wetlands in China provide important stopover sites for migratory shorebird species. The loss of natural wetlands caused by land reclamation over the past few decades poses a major threat to shorebird populations.

Modeling Systematic Change in Stopover Duration Does Not Improve Bias in Trends Estimated from Migration Counts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The use of counts of unmarked migrating animals to monitor long term population trends assumes independence of daily counts and a constant rate of detection.

Migration routes and differences in migration strategies of Whooper Swans between spring and autumn
Avian Research, 2023 Long-distance migratory birds travel more rapidly in spring than in autumn, as they face temporal breeding constraints. However, several species travel slower in spring owing to environmental influences, such as food availability and wind conditions. GPS
