Animal-borne sensors as a biologically informed lens on a changing climate
As climate change transforms the biosphere, more comprehensive and biologically relevant
measurements of changing conditions are needed. Traditional climate measurements are …

The decline of A fro‐P alaearctic migrants and an assessment of potential causes
JA Vickery, SR Ewing, KW Smith, DJ Pain, F Bairlein… - Ibis, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Resource tracking within and across continents in long-distance bird migrants
Migratory birds track seasonal resources across and between continents. We propose a
general strategy of tracking the broad seasonal abundance of resources throughout the …

Ten years tracking the migrations of small landbirds: Lessons learned in the golden age of bio-logging
In 2007, the first miniature light-level geolocators were deployed on small landbirds,
revolutionizing the study of migration. In this paper, we review studies that have used …

Population decline is linked to migration route in the Common Cuckoo
Migratory species are in rapid decline globally. Although most mortality in long-distance
migrant birds is thought to occur during migration, evidence of conditions on migration …

The role of tropical rainfall in driving range dynamics for a long-distance migratory bird
Predicting how the range dynamics of migratory species will respond to climate change
requires a mechanistic understanding of the factors that operate across the annual cycle to …

Advances in tracking small migratory birds: a technical review of light‐level geolocation
Light‐level geolocation data loggers, or geologgers, have recently been miniaturized to the
extent that they can be deployed on small songbirds, allowing us to determine many …

New discoveries in landbird migration using geolocators, and a flight plan for the future
Geolocator accuracy varies, depending on bird behavior, geographic location, habitat, and
weather (Fudickar et al. 2012, Lisovski et al. 2012). Ground truthing at multiple sites prior to …
