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 …

Ten years tracking the migrations of small landbirds: Lessons learned in the golden age of bio-logging
EA McKinnon, OP Love - The Auk: Ornithological Advances, 2018 - academic.oup.com
In 2007, the first miniature light-level geolocators were deployed on small landbirds,

Fat, weather, and date affect migratory songbirds' departure decisions, routes, and time it takes to cross the Gulf of Mexico
Approximately two thirds of migratory songbirds in eastern North America negotiate the Gulf
of Mexico (GOM), where inclement weather coupled with no refueling or resting …

Low migratory connectivity is common in long‐distance migrant birds
Estimating how much long‐distance migrant populations spread out and mix during the non‐
breeding season (migratory connectivity) is essential for understanding and predicting …

Gene regulation and speciation in a migratory divide between songbirds
Behavioral variation abounds in nature. This variation is important for adaptation and
speciation, but its molecular basis remains elusive. Here, we use a hybrid zone between two …

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 …
