Habitat use and habitat selection are essential for successful stopovers. Passerine migrants
use habitats in a clearly non-random manner, even if many species utilise a broader range …

The phenomenon of bird migration has fascinated people from time immemorial. The
arrivals and departures of different species marked the seasons, heralding spring and …

Successful migration for passerine birds depends largely on the quality of stopover habitats,
but we still lack complete knowledge of how migrants search for habitats en route and how …

Despite recent advances in technology, it remains difficult to connect breeding and non‐
breeding areas of populations of migratory organisms due to the challenges of year‐round …

During their seasonal migration, birds stage in areas comprising stopover sites of varying
quality. Given that migrating birds have a limited information about their environment, they …

We studied migratory stopovers of nocturnal passerine migrants migrating between the
Urals and Siberia and the Near East and Africa (five species) and between European …

We studied the stopover ecology of Blackcaps in Eilat, Israel, at the northern edge of the
Saharan desert crossing. We investigated the Blackcaps with regard to differential migration …

Global environmental processes like climate change could severely affect population level
migratory behaviour of long range migrant birds. We analyzed changes in migration …

Stopover periods between flights are essential for migrating birds, and the time birds spend
at stopover sites as well as the refuelling rate is determined by intrinsic and extrinsic factors …

Long-distance bird migration is often characterized by a number of flight bouts interspersed
with intermittent stopover periods for re-fuelling. However, little is known about the stopover …
