Fine-scale movement data reveal surface foraging and nocturnal flight activity in the endangered Bermuda petrel

This study uses fine-scale movement data from Bermuda petrels to reveal surface foraging and nocturnal flight behaviors, providing insights into their foraging strategies and activity patterns.

Movement data link phenotypic traits to individual fitness in a nocturnal predator.

This study links movement patterns of barn owls to phenotypic traits and individual fitness using GPS tracking and long-term field data.

Landing force reveals new form of motion-induced sound camouflage in a wild predator.

This study measures landing force in barn owls to show how they modulate it for sound camouflage, improving hunting success and linking it to environmental factors.

Soaring migrants flexibly respond to sea-breeze in a migratory bottleneck: using first derivatives to identify behavioural adjustments over time

This study analyzes how soaring birds adjust their flight behavior in response to sea-breeze patterns using radar data and statistical modeling.

Groping in the fog: soaring migrants exhibit wider scatter in flight directions and respond differently to wind under low visibility conditions

The paper studies how soaring birds adjust their flight behavior in fog, finding increased directional scatter and altered wind responses compared to clear conditions.

The interplay of wind and uplift facilitates over-water flight in facultative soaring birds

This study shows that migratory birds use wind and uplift conditions to optimize energy-efficient over-water flight routes.

Causes and consequences of facultative sea crossing in a soaring migrant

This study examines how atmospheric and geographic factors influence route selection in migrating white storks, finding that wind patterns and energy costs affect whether birds cross or circumvent the Mediterranean Sea.
