The extraordinary adaptations of birds to contend with atmospheric conditions during their
migratory flights have captivated ecologists for decades. During the 21st century …

Most processes within organisms, and most interactions between organisms and their
environment, have distinct time profiles. The temporal coordination of such processes is …

Extreme weather events (EWEs; for example, heatwaves, cold spells, storms, floods and
droughts) and non-native species invasions are two major threats to global biodiversity and …

Under climate warming, migratory birds should align reproduction dates with advancing
plant and arthropod phenology. To arrive on the breeding grounds earlier, migrants may …

As global climate change progresses, the occurrence of potentially disruptive climatic events
such as storms are increasing in frequency, duration and intensity resulting in higher …

Body condition (ie relative mass after correcting for structural size) affects the behaviour of
migrating birds, but how body condition affects migratory performance, timing and fitness is …

Long‐distance migratory flights are predicted to be associated with higher mortality rates
when individuals encounter adverse weather conditions. However, directly connecting …

Many migratory species have experienced substantial declines that resulted from rapid and
massive expansions of human structures and activities, habitat alterations and climate …

Stopovers comprise a significant proportion of the time that many birds spend migrating, and
researchers have long relied on these events to define and classify broader migratory …

Nearly 20% of all bird species migrate between breeding and nonbreeding sites annually.
Their migrations include storied feats of endurance and physiology, from non-stop trans …
