Experience reduces route selection on conspecifics by the collectively migrating white stork

This study shows that white storks change their migratory route selection based on age, prioritizing social information as juveniles and experience as adults.

Developmental stage determines the realized energy landscape for a flight specialist

The study shows that the realized energy landscape for golden eagles changes with age, with younger eagles having higher energy costs and smaller flyable areas.

Standardised empirical dispersal kernels emphasise the pervasiveness of long-distance dispersal in European birds

This study estimates and compares empirical dispersal kernels for European birds, finding that long-distance dispersal is common across species and life stages.

Wing tags severely impair movement in African Cape Vulture

This study shows that wing tags impair flight performance in Cape Vultures, leading to reduced flight frequency, slower speeds, and shorter distances traveled compared to leg bands.

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.
