The state of migratory landbirds in the East Asian Flyway: Distributions, threats, and conservation needs

DL Yong, W Heim, SU Chowdhury, CY Choi… - Frontiers in Ecology …, 2021 - frontiersin.org
With nearly 400 migratory landbird species, the East Asian Flyway is the most diverse of the
world's flyways. This diversity is a consequence of the varied ecological niches provided by …

Bird migration and the conservation of the global environment

H Higuchi - Journal of Ornithology, 2012 - Springer
I have collaborated with Asian and American scientists on satellite-tracking the migration of
birds in East Asia for nearly 20 years. We have tracked the migration of about 20 bird …

Multi‐temporal distribution modelling with satellite tracking data: predicting responses of a long‐distance migrant to changing environmental conditions

M Gschweng, EKV Kalko, P Berthold… - Journal of Applied …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Despite the wealth of data available from satellite tracking (ST) studies, such data have
rarely been used to model species distributions. Using a novel method, we show how to …

Migration distance affects stopover use but not travel speed: contrasting patterns between long‐and short‐distance migrating ospreys

F Monti, D Grémillet, A Sforzi, JM Dominici… - Journal of Avian …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Wind conditions facilitate the seasonal water‐crossing behaviour of Oriental Honey‐buzzards Pernis ptilorhynchus over the East China Sea

E Nourani, NM Yamaguchi, A Manda, H Higuchi - Ibis, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Migratory raptors rarely fly over stretches of water larger than 25 km, although different
species undertake water crossings of varying lengths, depending mainly on their wing …

The first nationwide surveillance of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome in ruminants and wildlife in Taiwan

CY Kuan, TL Lin, SC Ou, ST Chuang, JPW Chan… - Viruses, 2023 - mdpi.com
Since the first discovery of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) in
China in 2009, SFTSV has rapidly spread through other Asian countries, including Japan …

Extremely detoured migration in an inexperienced bird: interplay of transport costs and social interactions

U Mellone, R Limiñana, E Mallia… - Journal of Avian …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
We tagged two juvenile short‐toed eagles in southern Italian peninsula with GPS satellite
transmitters. According to previous visual observations, two different migratory routes for …

Ecological barriers promote risk minimisation and social learning in migrating short-toed snake eagles

M Panuccio, N Agostini, G Premuda - Ethology Ecology & Evolution, 2012 - Taylor & Francis
The short-toed snake eagle (Circaetus gallicus) uses mostly soaring flight over land during
migration to avoid long sea crossings. In particular, birds breeding in central Italy cross the …

Real-time weather analysis reveals the adaptability of direct sea-crossing by raptors

NM Yamaguchi, Y Arisawa, Y Shimada, H Higuchi - Journal of ethology, 2012 - Springer
Many animals seasonally travel between their breeding and wintering grounds. With their
advanced mobility, birds often migrate over thousands of kilometres. Recently, satellite …

Seasonal differences in migration patterns of a soaring bird in relation to environmental conditions: a multi-scale approach

U Mellone, J De La Puente, P López-López… - Behavioral Ecology and …, 2015 - Springer
Many studies suggest that migratory birds are expected to travel more quickly during spring,
when they are en route to the breeding grounds, in order to ensure a high-quality territory …
