Endogenous programs that regulate annual cycles have been shown for many taxa,
including protists, arthropods, fish, mammals and birds. In migration biology, these programs …

In birds, accumulating energy is far slower than spending energy during flight. During
migration, birds spend, therefore, most of the time at stopover refueling energy used during …

When choosing between candidate nest sites, a honeybee swarm reliably chooses the most
valuable site and even when faced with the choice between near-equal value sites, it makes …

We hypothesized differences in molecular strategies for similar journeys that migrants
undertake to reproduce in spring and to overwinter in autumn. We tested this in redheaded …

Understanding if and how individuals and populations cope with environmental change is
an enduring question in evolutionary ecology that has renewed importance given the pace …

We describe a method and device (< 1.2 g) for recording, processing and storing data about
activity and location of individuals of free‐living songbirds throughout the annual cycle …

Most songbird migrants travel between their breeding areas and wintering grounds by a
series of nocturnal flights. The exact nocturnal departure time for these flights varies …

Aquaculture, fueled partly by claims of supporting food security, is experiencing
unprecedented growth. Framing aquaculture as a monolith, however, overlooks its extreme …

Most migrating birds need to stopover in between flights in order to refuel. Lately, additional
purposes of stopover have been suggested, including physiological recovery from …

The transition to a migratory state involves coordinated changes in physiology and
behaviour. In species with regular, predictable (obligate) migrations, increasing day length …
