High-elevation habitats are important for birds during the post-breeding migration period in the Alps
Mountain habitats harbour significant breeding populations of alpine bird species, yet they can also be important from a biodiversity conservation...

Synchronous timing of return to breeding sites in a long-distance migratory seabird with ocean-scale variation in migration schedules
BackgroundMigratory birds generally have tightly scheduled annual cycles, in which delays can have carry-over effects on the timing of later events,...

Timing of migration and African non-breeding grounds of geolocator-tracked European Pied Flycatchers: a multi-population assessment
Using light-level geolocators, eight European Pied Flycatchers ( Ficedula hypoleuca ) from two breeding sites in Czechia were tracked. We also gathered...

Migration, Movements, and Non-breeding Ecology
Little bustard seasonal movements are complex. Besides the long known fully long-distance migratory populations (i.e. those of western France,...

Non-breeding sites, loop migration and flight activity patterns over the annual cycle in the Lesser Grey Shrike Lanius minor from a north-western edge of its range
The Lesser Grey Shrike is a typical Palaearctic songbird for which we have limited knowledge of its migration ecology. All that is known about its...

Migration routes and timing of European Nightjars (Caprimulgus europaeus) breeding in eastern Mongolia
The phenology and routes of long-distance migrations of European Nightjars are well described for Western European individuals migrating within the...

Migration
About half of the approximately 10,000 species of birds are classified as migrants. Ideas about the origins of avian migration are discussed in this...

First insights into migration routes and nonbreeding sites used by Red-rumped Swallows (Cecropis daurica rufula) breeding in the Iberian Peninsula
Using EURING data and geolocation, we describe migration routes and the nonbreeding range of Red-rumped Swallows breeding in the Western Palearctic....

Non-breeding ranging behaviour, habitat use, and pre-breeding migratory movements of Fieldfares (Turdus pilaris) wintering in southern Europe
Improving our understanding of the spatio-temporal distribution of migratory game species is pivotal for develo** flyway-based management...

Variation in migration behaviors used by Arctic Terns (Sterna paradisaea) breeding across a wide latitudinal gradient
Arctic Terns ( Sterna paradisaea ) share a few routes to undertake the longest annual migrations of any organism. To understand how the wide spatial...

Migration and non-breeding ecology of the Yellow-breasted Chat Icteria virens
Detailed information spanning the full annual cycle is lacking for most songbird populations. We examined breeding, migration, and non-breeding sites...

Rolling front landscape breeding
Forest tree breeding must undergo significant revisions to adapt to the evolving challenges posed by climate change. Addressing the shifts in...

Breeding performance and nest-site selection of Woodchat Shrikes Lanius senator near the southern edge of their breeding distribution
Numerous Woodchat Shrike ( Lanius senator ) populations, and Laniidae in general, are globally declining. A deeper understanding of their breeding...
-
Active breeding seabirds prospect alternative breeding colonies
Compared to other animal movements, prospecting by adult individuals for a future breeding site is commonly overlooked. Prospecting influences the...
-
Clutch size but not egg size associates with migration distance in South American land birds
The association between migratory strategies and life-history traits helps explain how migratory organisms balance the energetic costs and survival...

From Siberia to Indonesia: tracking the migration of the Arctic Warbler Phylloscopus borealis
Little is known regarding the migration routes of Siberian songbird populations. Here we provide the first geolocator tracking data for an Arctic...

How Closely Common Pochards (Aythya ferina) Interact with Spring Phenology on Migration
AbstractData on Common Pochard (hereafter Pochard) migration was taken from the Database of the Bird Ringing Centre of Russia. Data on weather...

Year-round spatial distribution and migration phenology of a rapidly declining trans-Saharan migrant—evidence of winter movements and breeding site fidelity in European turtle doves
AbstractPopulations of migratory bird species have suffered a sustained and severe decline for several decades. Contrary to non-migratory species,...

Should I stay or should I fly? Migration phenology, individual-based migration decision and seasonal changes in foraging behaviour of Common Woodpigeons
Migration is used by many species as a strategy to deal with a seasonally changing environment. For some species, migration patterns can vary across...

Relationship between wintering site and survival in a migratory waterbird using different migration routes
When wintering at different sites, individuals from the same breeding population can experience different conditions, with costs and benefits that...
