Long-duration wind tunnel flights reveal exponential declines in protein catabolism over time in short-and long-distance migratory warblers
During migration, long-distance migratory songbirds may fly nonstop for days, whereas
shorter-distance migrants complete flights of 6 to 10 h. Fat is the primary fuel source, but …

Range-wide post-and pre-breeding migratory networks of a declining neotropical–nearctic migratory bird, the blackpoll warbler
J Duali, WV DeLuca, SA Mackenzie, JA Tremblay… - Scientific Reports, 2024 - nature.com
Identifying the drivers of population declines in migratory species requires an understanding

Migration ecology of western gray catbirds
Background For many songbirds in North America, we lack movement details about the full
annual cycle, notably outside the breeding season. Understanding how populations are …

Length polymorphisms at two candidate genes explain variation of migratory behaviors in blackpoll warblers (Setophaga striata)
Migratory behaviors such as the timing and duration of migration are genetically inherited
and can be under strong natural selection, yet we still know very little about the specific …

Rapid recovery by fat-and muscle-depleted Blackpoll Warblers following trans-oceanic migration is driven by time-minimization
Nonstop endurance flights are a defining characteristic of many long-distance migratory
birds, but subsequent recovery phases are not typically distinguished from fueling phases …

Migratory connectivity then and now: a northward shift in breeding origins of a long-distance migratory bird wintering in the tropics
Temporal variation in the connectivity of populations of migratory animals has not been
widely documented, despite having important repercussions for population ecology and …
