📡 Why do Martins and Swallows pass by the Great Lakes when they do - Great collaboration with Yuting Deng and @kyle-horton.bsky.social. @biodiversa.eu 📡

Swiss Ornithological Institute@vogelwarte.bsky.social · last yr.

Combining weather radar data with environmental data, @birgenhaest.bsky.social and co-authors found that peak roosting phenology of migrating martins and swallows in the Great Lakes region is paced by both local and distant conditions. Read more on doi.org/10.1111/geb....

Birds will be arriving soon! This map shows peak migration dates across the US modeled using radar data. Keep in mind, the dates represent peaks, but migration usually plays out across a couple of weeks, so estimate ± 1 week on either side of the dates on the map for max migration activity.

Can we use #acoustics to quantify nocturnal #birdmigration in Europe? We explored potential and outlined some challenges in our latest publication in @rsecjournal.bsky.social. Get it HERE: doi.org/10.1002/rse2... @vogelwarte.bsky.social @biodiversaplus.bsky.social @paulcoiffard.bsky.social

Quantifying nocturnal bird migration using acoustics: opportunities and challenges

In this study, we explore three migration intensity measures derived from acoustic recordings, that is, bird call and passage rates, and species diversity, for their usefulness in quantifying nocturn...

These are 5 autumn migration routes travelled by the same common tern. He’s not the only one showing such flexibility, and it pays, because in our new paper, published by @royalsocietypublishing.org, we show that route flexibility is associated with minimized headwind exposure: tinyurl.com/4dawhwzj

Our @batumiraptorcount.org Autumn Report is now online! Ever considered coming to Batumi to watch the incredible migration of 1+ million raptors 🦅, either as tourist or volunteer? Let our richly illustrated reports convince you to come next year. www.batumiraptorcount.org/autumn-repor... 🪶

Wondering why acoustic indices may also correlate with diversity metrics of non-vocalizing species? Check out our new paper led by @saskiadroege.bsky.social with acoustic, habitat quality, and multi-taxa biodiversity data from northeastern Madagascar! doi.org/10.1016/j.ec...

Are acoustic indices useful? Acoustic indices are increasingly used to analyse bioacoustics data, but many studies correlate indices only with single species richness (e.g., birds) and flag inconsistent performance.
