The extraordinary adaptations of birds to contend with atmospheric conditions during their
migratory flights have captivated ecologists for decades. During the 21st century …

Costs of migration, in terms of time, energy, and mortality risk, have a strong theoretical and
empirical foundation in the study of birds. We expect these costs to be most severe for …

Faster migration in spring than in autumn seems to be a common pattern in birds. This has
been ultimately explained by seasonally different selection pressures. Variation in migration …

Shorebirds (Charadriiformes) undergo rapid migrations with potential for long‐distance
dispersal (LDD) of plants. We studied the frequency of endozoochory by shorebirds in …

Advancing breeding phenology is a commonly observed response to climate warming
among bird species, potentially in response to shifts in the phenology of key resources …

Matching the timing of annual cycle events with the required resources can have crucial
consequences for individual fitness. But as the annual cycle is composed of sequential …

Long-distance migratory seabirds need to adjust their migration strategy according to
internal (breeding, molting) and external factors (seasonality, resource availability). Time …

Migration is fundamental in the life of many birds and entails significant energetic and time
investments. Given the importance of arrival time in the breeding area and the relatively …

Migratory birds spend most of their journeys at stopover sites where they rest and refuel.
Many migrants are in steep decline, and understanding their behavior within and among …

Understanding how individual tradeoffs and carry‐over effects along the annual cycle
influence fitness is fundamental to unravel population dynamics, but such data is particularly …
