How do energy stores and changes in these affect departure decisions by migratory birds? A critical view on stopover ecology studies and some future perspectives
In birds, accumulating energy is far slower than spending energy during flight. During
migration, birds spend, therefore, most of the time at stopover refueling energy used during …

Towards a conceptual framework for explaining variation in nocturnal departure time of songbird migrants
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 …

The grand challenges of migration ecology that radar aeroecology can help answer
Many migratory species have experienced substantial declines that resulted from rapid and
massive expansions of human structures and activities, habitat alterations and climate …

Immune function and blood parasite infections impact stopover ecology in passerine birds
Stopovers play a crucial role for the success of migrating animals and are key to optimal
migration theory. Variation in refuelling rates, stopover duration and departure decisions …

Stopover biology of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris) during autumn migration
Surprisingly little is known about the migration and stopover biology of Ruby-throated
Hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris), and even less is known about their sex-or age …

Geolocators reveal variation and sex‐specific differences in the migratory strategies of a long‐distance migrant
Songbird populations are in decline all over the world, and our understanding of the causal
mechanisms remains surprisingly limited. It is important to identify the extent of individual …

Ecological factors influence timing of departures in nocturnally migrating songbirds at Falsterbo, Sweden
Most songbirds depart from stopover sites after sunset and migrate during the night. Several
recent studies have reported larger variation in departure time than previously thought; yet, it …

Underestimated scale of songbird offshore migration across the south-eastern North Sea during autumn
V Brust, O Hüppop - Journal of Ornithology, 2022 - Springer
Flights over open water can be challenging for migrating songbirds. Despite numerous
observations of songbirds migrating over remote islands, virtually nothing is known about …

A conceptual framework on the role of magnetic cues in songbird migration ecology
Migrating animals perform astonishing seasonal movements by orienting and navigating
over thousands of kilometres with great precision. Many migratory species use cues from the …
