There are multiple observations around the globe showing that in many avian species, both
the timing of migration and breeding have advanced, due to warmer springs. Here, we …

From the red grouse to the Ethiopian bush-crow, bird populations around the world can
provide us with vital insights into the effects of climate change on species and ecosystems …

Animals and plants are shifting the timing of key life events in response to climate change,
yet despite recent documentation of escalating phenological change, scientists lack a full …

Predicting how the range dynamics of migratory species will respond to climate change
requires a mechanistic understanding of the factors that operate across the annual cycle to …

Migratory species are widespread in terrestrial, aquatic and aerial environments, and are
important both ecologically and economically. Since migration is an adaptive response to …

Tracking repeat migratory journeys of individual animals is required to assess phenotypic
plasticity of individual migration behaviour in space and time. We used light-level …

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 …

Abstract Changes in phenology and distribution are being widely reported for many
migratory species in response to shifting environmental conditions. Understanding these …

Migratory birds that experience poor overwintering conditions are often late to arrive at the
breeding grounds, which is known to depress individual fitness. Despite the importance of …

Conservation of migratory animals requires information about seasonal survival rates.
Identifying factors that limit populations, and the portions of the annual cycle in which they …
