DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9146
Abstract: Abstract Wind has a significant yet complex effect on bird migration speed. With prevailing south wind, overall migration is generally faster in spring than in autumn. However, studies on the difference in airspeed between seasons… read more here.

Quantifying nocturnal bird migration using acoustics: opportunities and challenges
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation"
DOI: 10.1002/rse2.433
Abstract: Acoustic recordings have emerged as a promising tool to monitor nocturnal bird migration, as it can uniquely provide species‐level detection of migratory movements under the darkness of the night sky. This study explores the use… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-14589-2
Abstract: Migration is a widespread response of birds to seasonally varying climates. As seasonality is particularly pronounced during interglacial periods, this raises the question of the significance of bird migration during past periods with different patterns… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2308433121
Abstract: Significance Spring vegetation green-up generates important food resources for many migratory animals, provided the timing of green-up matches the timing of migration. Yet green-up phenology is changing with climate change, and it is unclear for… read more here.

Contrasting seasonal responses to wind in migrating songbirds on a globally important flyway

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2024.0875
Abstract: During spring migration, nocturnal migrants attempt to minimize their travel time to reach their breeding grounds early. However, how they behave and respond to unfavourable conditions during their springtime travels is much less understood. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/science.aat7526
Abstract: Bird forecast Billions of birds migrate across the globe each year, and, in our modern environment, many collide with human-made structures and vehicles. The ability to predict peak timing and locations of migratory events could… read more here.
