For many avian species, spatial migration patterns remain largely undescribed, especially
across hemispheric extents. Recent advancements in tracking technologies and high …

Aim Animal movement is an important determinant of individual survival, population
dynamics and ecosystem structure and function. Nonetheless, it is still unclear how local …

Animals' movements integrate multiple factors, such as motion and navigational abilities, the
motivational and internal states of the individuals, and environmental conditions. We studied …

Soaring flight is a remarkable adaptation to reduce movement costs by taking advantage of
atmospheric uplifts. The movement pattern of soaring birds is shaped by the spatial and …

Background Long-distance migratory birds spend most of their annual cycle in non-breeding
areas. During this period birds must meet their daily nutritional needs and acquire additional …

Using High-Resolution GPS Tracking Data of Bird Flight for Meteorological Observations in:
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society Volume 97 Issue 6 (2016) Jump to Content …

Billions of birds migrate to exploit seasonally available resources. The ranges of migration
vary greatly among species, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. I …

Thermal soaring conditions above the sea have long been assumed absent or too weak for
terrestrial migrating birds, forcing obligate soarers to take long detours and avoid sea …

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 …
