Migratory birds typically separate energetically demanding parts of the annual cycle like
breeding, moult and migration with some species engaging in so‐called moult‐migration …

Seasonal migration is intrinsically connected to the balance of survival and reproduction, but
whether migratory behavior influences species' position on the slow-fast continuum of life …

Migration consists of a sequence of small-to large-scale flights often separated by stopovers
for refueling. Tradeoffs between minimizing migration time (more flights, shorter stopovers) …

Stopovers are the most energy-and time-consuming events during avian migration, yet
individuals of certain species make long stopovers to moult (“moult migration”). Requiring …

Rapid high-intensity molt of flight feathers occurs in many bird species and can have several
detrimental consequences, including reductions in flight capabilities, foraging performance …

As migratory species move through the stages of their annual cycle, individuals often display
variation in the degree to which they remain in proximity to one another, a phenomenon …

Food hoarding provides animals access to resources during periods of scarcity. Studies on
mammalian caching indicate associations with brain size, seasonality and diet but are …

Molt is critical for birds as it replaces damaged feathers and worn plumage, enhancing flight
performance, thermoregulation, and communication. In passerines, molt generally occurs on …

Cities are significant barriers for migrating birds, but providing suitable greenspaces for
stopovers can mitigate urban impacts. City planning for greenspaces often focusses on …

The demography and dynamics of migratory bird populations depend on patterns of
movement and habitat quality across the annual cycle. We leveraged archival GPS‐tagging …
