Bio-logging, the on-animal deployment of miniaturised electronic data recorders, allows for
the study of location, body position, and physiology of individuals throughout their ontogeny …

Understanding how soaring birds use updrafts at small spatial scales is important to identify
ecological constraints of movement, and may help to prevent conflicts between wind-energy …

Soaring raptors can fly at high altitudes of up to 9000 m. The behavioural adjustments to
high-altitude flights are largely unknown. We studied thermalling flights of Himalayan …

Collision risk of soaring birds is partly associated with updrafts to which they are attracted.
To identify the risk-enhancing landscape features, a micrositing tool was developed to …

In recent decades, there has been a growing interest in integrating the social sciences and
conservation studies to inform a more realistic management approach. Indeed, an …

Background Recent studies have proposed that birds migrating short distances migrate at
an overall slower pace, minimizing energy expenditure, while birds migrating long distances …

Movement ecologists and environmental scientists are increasingly utilizing large volumes
of spatiotemporal data collected from animal tracking and remote sensing of the …

Abstract Background New World vultures (Cathartiformes: Cathartidae) are obligate
scavengers comprised of seven species in five genera throughout the Americas. Of these …

Climate-driven environmental change and land-use change often interact in their impact on
biodiversity, but these interactions have received little scientific attention. Here we study the …

Background Individual variation in movement strategies of foraging loggerhead turtles have
been documented on the scale of tens to hundreds of kilometers within single ocean basins …
