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

The conservation of long‐distance migratory birds requires coordination between the
multiple countries connected by the movements of these species. The recent expansion of …

The global long‐term decline of migrant birds represents an important and challenging issue
for conservation scientists and practitioners. This review draws together recent research …

Background Anthropogenic changes in the climate and environment have globally affected

Many migratory bird species cross the Mediterranean during autumn migration, but most do
so either at the western or eastern ends where they can avoid, or minimise, sea crossings …

Background High-latitude bird migration has evolved after the last glaciation, in less than
10,000–15,000 years. Migrating songbirds rely on an endogenous migratory program …

Wildlife conservation policies directed at common and widespread, but declining, species
are difficult to design and implement effectively, as multiple environmental changes are …

Each year, billions of songbirds cross large ecological barriers during their migration.
Understanding how they perform this incredible task is crucial to predict how global change …

Migratory routes and remote wintering quarters in birds are often species and even
population specific. It has been known for decades that songbirds mainly migrate solitarily …

Bird migration has long been a subject of fascination for humankind and is a behavior that is
