Post-breeding migration in land-based marine animals is thought to offset seasonal
deterioration in foraging or other important environmental conditions at the breeding site …

Predators exploiting tropical pelagic waters characterised by low fluctuations in seasonal
temperature and salinity may require different foraging strategies than predators that can …

We tracked pallid swifts (Apus pallidus brehmorum) from a single breeding colony in
Gibraltar over two years. Our results show movement of birds between specific regions …

To identify potential threats and prioritize areas for protection, modern conservation efforts
rely on spatial data. While it is often impossible to study the movements of entire …

Capsule Atlantic Puffins in the North Sea can replace their primaries, and hence be

Annual mass migrations of seabirds between their breeding and wintering grounds are
critical for ensuring their survival and reproductive success. It is essential to comprehend …

Seasonal variation in food availability or adverse weather patterns can create challenging
conditions for year-round survival. Birds experiencing such fluctuations may migrate to …

Polar ecosystems are subjected to many stressors, including climate change, that impact
their overall functioning. Seabirds are good bioindicators of these systems as they readily …

Wind conditions strongly affect migratory costs and shape flyways and detours for many
birds, especially soaring birds. However, whether winds also influence individual variability …
