DOI: 10.1002/ece3.72239
Abstract: ABSTRACT Many animals show phenotypic flexibility in response to a seasonal environment. Especially migratory birds have been found to exhibit striking physiological and behavioural adaptations to overcome the negative impacts of environmental seasonality. Migratory songbirds… read more here.

Drivers of spring migration phenology in Rocky Mountain elk

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-91947-4
Abstract: By migrating, ungulates take advantage of cyclical fluctuations in resources, which allows them to persist at greater population numbers than they would in the absence of these seasonal movements. We sought to identify the drivers… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2017.0395
Abstract: Migratory decisions in birds are closely tied to environmental cues and fat stores, but it remains unknown if the same variables trigger bat migration. To learn more about the rare phenomenon of bat migration, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2022.0318
Abstract: Migratory hoverflies are long-range migrants that, in the northern hemisphere, move seasonally to higher latitudes in the spring and lower latitudes in the autumn. The preferred migratory direction of hoverflies in the autumn has been… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/science.ade7441
Abstract: Long-distance migration, common in passerine birds, is rare and poorly studied in bats. Piloting a 1.2-gram IoT (Internet of Things) tag with onboard processing, we tracked the daily location, temperature, and activity of female common… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0217619
Abstract: Most papers on the physical condition of birds during spring migration focused on food availability preceding migratory take-off. Only a few studies examined the effect of climate conditions at the wintering grounds upon autumn arrival… read more here.

DOI: 10.5751/ace-01577-150117
Abstract: The awe-inspiring seasonal migrations of birds between breeding and wintering grounds has long attracted the interest of casual naturalists and professional ornithologists alike. Although new technologies improve our ability to follow individual migrants throughout their… read more here.

Climatic variation in Africa and Europe has combined effects on timing of spring migration in a long-distance migrant Willow Warbler Phylloscopus trochilus
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "PeerJ"
DOI: 10.7717/peerj.8770
Abstract: Background The arrival of many species of migrant passerine in the European spring has shifted earlier over recent decades, attributed to climate change and rising temperatures in Europe and west Africa. Few studies have shown… read more here.
