The use of accelerometers has become an important part of biologging techniques for large-
sized birds with accelerometer data providing information about flight mode, wing-beat …

Most songbird migrants travel between their breeding areas and wintering grounds by a
series of nocturnal flights. The exact nocturnal departure time for these flights varies …

Abstract From July 2018 to January 2019 we recorded 41 specimens of adult Hyalomma
ticks, which had been found on horses, cattle or humans in 14 Swedish provinces. In 20 …

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 …

Nocturnal avian migration flyways remain an elusive concept, as we have largely lacked
methods to map their full extent. We used the network of European weather radars to …

In many taxa, the most common form of sex-biased migration timing is protandry—the earlier
arrival of males at breeding areas. Here we test this concept across the annual cycle of long …

Determining how migratory animals are spatially connected between breeding and non‐
breeding periods is essential for predicting the effects of environmental change and for …

Background To understand the ecology of long-distance migrant bird species, it is necessary
to study their full annual cycle, including migratory routes and stopovers. This is especially …

In many migratory birds, males precede females during migration and arrival at the breeding
sites. Three proximate mechanisms are proposed to explain this phenomenon of protandry …

The shortest possible migratory route for birds is not always the best route to travel.
Substantial research effort has established that birds in captivity are capable of orienting …
