Global movement patterns of migratory birds illustrate their fascinating physical and
physiological abilities to cross continents and oceans. During their voyages, most birds land …

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 …

Many birds fly non-stop for days or longer, but do they sleep in flight and if so, how? It is
commonly assumed that flying birds maintain environmental awareness and aerodynamic …

1. Determining global position by light measurements ('geolocation') has revolutionised the
methods used to track migratory birds throughout their annual cycle. 2. To date, there is no …

Migratory birds are physiologically specialized to accumulate massive fat stores (up to 50–
60% of body mass), and to transport and oxidize fatty acids at very high rates to sustain flight …

Antibiotic resistance genes are biologically transmitted from microorganism to
microorganism in particular micro‐environments where dense microbial communities are …

Tracking repeat migratory journeys of individual animals is required to assess phenotypic
plasticity of individual migration behaviour in space and time. We used light-level …

The evolution of migration routes in birds remains poorly understood as changes in
migration strategies are rarely observed on contemporary timescales. 1–3 The Richard's …

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 …

Long-distance migratory organisms are under strong selection to migrate quickly. Stopovers
demand more time than flying and are used by individuals to refuel during migration, but the …
