The global long‐term decline of migrant birds represents an important and challenging issue
for conservation scientists and practitioners. This review draws together recent research …

The rise of antibiotic resistance demands the acceleration of molecular diversification
strategies to inspire new chemical entities for antibiotic medicines. We report here on the …

Currently, the deployment of tracking devices is one of the most frequently used approaches
to study movement ecology of birds. Recent miniaturization of light‐level geolocators …

Migrant birds face a number of threats throughout their annual cycle, including persecution,
collision with energy infrastructure, and habitat and climate change. A key challenge for the …

Parasite dispersal and host-switching may be better understood by knowing when they
occurred. We estimated when the ancestor of a parasite of great reed warblers …

Recent studies have revealed concerning declines in bird populations in Europe and other
parts of the world. In understudied but biodiverse regions, especially those that are located …

Light-level geolocators, miniature devices used for tracking avian migration over the full
annual cycle, are being widely deployed on small migratory passerines. However, the …

Waterbirds are highly mobile, moving over large distances to access resources. Although
consistent migration routes are observed in highly seasonal and predictable environments …

Aim Ongoing climate changes represent a major determinant of demographic processes in
many organisms worldwide. Birds, and especially long‐distance migrants, are particularly …

Management of reed beds primarily includes controlling water levels and removing
vegetation by mowing, burning, or grazing. Although recent studies have demonstrated …
