[HTML][HTML] GPS-telemetry unveils the regular high-elevation crossing of the Himalayas by a migratory raptor: implications for definition of a “Central Asian Flyway”
Remote technologies are producing leapfrog advances in identifying the routes and
connectivity of migratory species, which are still unknown for hundreds of taxa, especially …

Migration distance affects stopover use but not travel speed: contrasting patterns between long‐and short‐distance migrating ospreys
The development of migratory behaviour is a continuous process which is not only
determined by genes, but also moulded by individual differences based on life‐history …

Migration and wintering strategies in vulnerable Mediterranean Osprey populations
A broad range of migration strategies exist in avian species, and different strategies can
occur in different populations of the same species. For the breeding Osprey Pandion …
