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

Climate change and urbanisation are among the most pervasive and rapidly growing threats
to biodiversity worldwide. However, their impacts are usually considered in isolation, and …

Aquaculture continues to expand swiftly and remains the fastest‐growing food industry
worldwide amidst ever‐present threats from chronic stressors and emerging diseases …

The high metabolic activity associated with endurance flights and intense fuelling of migrant
birds may produce large quantities of reactive oxygen species, which cause oxidative …

Animals dynamically adjust their physiology and behavior to survive in changing
environments, and seasonal migration is one life stage that demonstrates these dynamic …

Many songbirds migrate twice a year to exploit seasonally available resources. These
journeys are energetically demanding and energy reserves of these small birds are limited …

Migration is one of the most physical and energetically demanding periods in an individual
bird's life. The composition of the bird's gut or cloacal microbiota can temporarily change …

Normally, the host immunological response to viral infection is coordinated to restore
homeostasis and protect the individual from possible tissue damage. The two major …

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 …

Migration is energetically expensive and is predicted to drive similar morphological
adaptations and physiological trade‐offs in migratory bats and birds. Previous studies …
