DOI: 10.1002/ece3.70675
Abstract: ABSTRACT Seasonal migration has evolved as an adaptation for exploiting peaks of resource abundance and avoiding unfavourable climatic conditions. Differential migratory strategies and choices of wintering areas by long‐distance migratory species may impose varying selective… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/etojnl/vgaf016
Abstract: This study examines how southern wintering areas may contribute to organochlorine (OCs) loads in arctic seabirds during breeding. Light-sensitive geolocators (GLS loggers) were deployed on Arctic skuas (Stercorarius parasiticus) in one high arctic and two… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jav.01070
Abstract: Understanding connections between breeding, stopover and wintering grounds for long-distance migratory birds can provide important insight into factors influencing demography and the strength of carry-over effects among various periods of the annual cycle. Using previously… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.236109
Abstract: ABSTRACT We investigated the role of ambient temperature in departure from wintering areas of migratory black-headed buntings in spring. Birds transferred at 22 and 35°C to long days were compared with one another and with… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2023.1302785
Abstract: Fecal microbiota is essential for host health because it increases digestive effectiveness. The crane species Grus nigricollis (G. nigricollis) is considered to be near threatened. The fecal microbial composition of crane is less understood, particularly… read more here.

DOI: 10.3996/jfwm-23-003
Abstract: Redheads Aythya americana concentrate annually in traditional wintering areas along the Gulf of Mexico coast from Florida to Tamaulipas, Mexico. We collected 399 redheads during two winters (1988-89 and 1989-90) from four traditional wintering areas… read more here.
