Winter connectivity and leapfrog migration in a migratory passerine

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Technological advances in migratory tracking tools have revealed a remarkable diversity in migratory patterns. One such pattern is leapfrog migration, where individuals that breed further north migrate to locations further south.

Weather at the winter and stopover areas determines spring migration onset, progress, and advancements in Afro-Palearctic migrant birds

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance Migratory birds show alarming declines across the globe, especially birds that migrate over long distances. A limited ability to adjust spring arrival to climate change at the breeding grounds, especially compared to residents and shorter ...

Departure, routing and landing decisions of long-distance migratory songbirds in relation to weather

Royal Society Open Science, 2023
Migrating birds flexibly adjust their individual migratory decisions, i.e. departing, routing and landing, based on intrinsic (e.g. energy stores) and extrinsic (e.g. landscape features and weather) factors modulating the endogenous stimuli.

Migratory stopover sites used by Reddish Egrets: prioritization for conservation

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2022
The conditions encountered during the migratory period, particularly at stopover sites, can influence individual survival, reproductive success, and population stability; therefore, knowledge of migration ecology is important for developing conservation ...

Predicting the Potential Stopover Sites of Ciconia Boyciana during Migration in China [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2023
Ciconia boyciana is a rare migrant bird in China and is listed as endangered species by IUCN. In order to identify their important stopover sites during migration, based on the Random Forest and the MaxEnt model, the occurrence records of Ciconia ...

Stopover departure decisions in songbirds: do long-distance migrants depart earlier and more independently of weather conditions than medium-distance migrants?

Movement Ecology, 2020
Songbirds following distinct migration strategies (e.g. long- vs. short- to medium-distance migrants) often differ in their speed of migration during autumn and, thus, are assumed to face different time constraints.

Co-migration fidelity at a stopover site increases over time in African–European migratory landbirds

Royal Society Open Science, 2023
Migratory species are changing their timing of departure from wintering areas and arrival to breeding sites (i.e. migration phenology) in response to climate change to exploit maximum food availability at higher latitudes and improve their fitness ...

Rapid population decline in migratory shorebirds relying on Yellow Sea tidal mudflats as stopover sites

Nature Communications, 2017
Migratory animals are threatened by human-induced global change. However, little is known about how stopover habitat, essential for refuelling during migration, affects the population dynamics of migratory species.

A place to land: spatiotemporal drivers of stopover habitat use by migrating birds.

Ecology Letters, 2020
Migrating birds require en route habitats to rest and refuel. Yet, habitat use has never been integrated with passage to understand the factors that determine where and when birds stopover during spring and autumn migration.

Indicators of site loss from a migration network: Anthropogenic factors influence waterfowl movement patterns at stopover sites

, 2021
A network of connected wetlands supports migratory movements of waterfowl. These networks are rapidly changing due to intensive human activities around natural habitats.
