There is compelling evidence that A fro‐P alaearctic (A‐P) migrant bird populations have
declined in E urope in recent decades, often to a greater degree than resident or short …

Each year, billions of songbirds cross large ecological barriers during their migration.
Understanding how they perform this incredible task is crucial to predict how global change …

Hundreds of millions of birds reach the Mediterranean islands or Mediterranean coast of
Europe every spring after having crossed the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea …

Drought and environmental degradation in the drylands of West Africa are widely cited as a
possible cause of population decline in migrant birds that winter or stage in the Sahel. Low …

Fat loads were quantified for 2125 Yellow-browed Warblers Phylloscopus inornatus trapped
at a stop-over site in Far East Russia during autumn migration. Flight ranges of 660–820 km …

Migratory distances and stopover locations are changing for many passerines in response to
climate change. Morphological changes have been linked to rising global temperatures in …

Long‐distance migratory flights with multiple stop‐overs, multiple wintering sites, and small‐
scale connectivity in Afro‐Palearctic migrants are likely to increase their vulnerability to …

Many populations of migratory bird species are rapidly declining. As a requisite for targeting
effective conservation efforts it is essential to determine the whereabouts of migrants year …

Stopover territoriality, ie, the defense and broadcast of an ephemeral home range during
avian migration, is rare or perhaps overlooked. However, settling on a territory may allow for …

Understanding how events throughout the annual cycle interact to influence individual
fitness and hence population dynamics is crucial to optimize conservation strategies for …
