Many populations near receding low-latitude range: margins are declining in response to climate change, but most studies of trailing-edge populations have focused on single species. Using 10 years (2014–2023) of avian survey data from a high-elevation trailing-edge population hotspot in the ...

Despite representing a crucial conservation concern, challenges in measuring seabird movement outside the breeding season remain. Among Alcidae, at least preliminary year-round movement data from representative populations has been obtained from only about half of extant species. During 2011–2015, ...
Weather radars are increasingly used to study the spatial-temporal dynamics of airborne birds and insects. These two taxa often co-occur and separating their contributions is crucial for reliable interpretation of their movement patterns. Most studies have restricted analyses to locations, seasons, ...
Artificial light at night is an anthropogenic pollutant that has wide-ranging effects on wildlife. Fledgling seabirds of order Procellariiformes exhibit phototaxis toward artificial lights on their first flights from the nest, causing them to become grounded in human settlements, where they are ...
Understanding bird migration at low altitudes is critical to evaluating risk of collision with obstacles. Recent advances in satellite tracking technologies allow quantifying use of low altitudes by small migrating birds with a high level of precision, allowing species-level inference into ...
