Habitats around the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) provide critical resources for Nearctic–Neotropical
migratory landbirds, the majority of which travel across or around the GOM every spring and …

Clarifying migration timing and its link with underlying drivers is fundamental to
understanding the evolution of bird migration. However, previous studies have focused …

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 …

Migratory birds have the potential to transport exotic vectors and pathogens of human and
animal health importance across vast distances. We systematically examined birds that …

We examined how conditions prior to migration influenced migration performance of two
breeding populations of black‐and‐white warblers Mniotilta varia by linking information on …

Understanding migratory connectivity is critical for interpreting population dynamics,
seasonal interactions, and for the implementation of conservation strategies of migratory …

Although stopover habitats are used by many species as refuelling stations during migration
and can be critical for survival and successful reproduction, they are rarely incorporated in …

The strength of migratory connectivity is a measure of the cohesion of populations among
phases of the annual cycle, including breeding, migration, and wintering. Many Nearctic …

In temperate regions, the annual pattern of spring onset can be envisioned as a 'green
wave'of emerging vegetation that moves across continents from low to high latitudes …

Large numbers of migratory bats are killed every autumn at wind energy facilities in North
America. While this may be troubling from a population perspective, these fatalities provide …
