Timing is critical: consequences of asynchronous migration for the performance and destination of a long-distance migrant

Marta Acacio et al.

Summary: This study investigates how the timing of autumn migration influences the migratory performance, route, and destination of white storks. The results show that later migrants spend fewer days on migration, take shorter and more direct routes in the Sahara Desert, and consume more energy when flying due to less favorable weather conditions. Wind direction also significantly influences storks' flight directions, with later individuals more likely to end their migration in western areas of the Sahel region. The study highlights the importance of migration timing in determining the environmental conditions and fitness consequences for long-distance migratory birds.

Flight altitudes of a soaring bird suggest landfill sites as power line collision hotspots

Joana Marcelino et al.

Summary: Anthropogenic structures are encroaching wildlife habitats, creating conflicts between humans and animals, especially with high mortality rates among birds. Studying flight altitudes helps to understand bird behaviors and collision risks, reducing ecological threats associated with human structures.

The trade-offs of foraging at landfills: Landfill use enhances hatching success but decrease the juvenile survival of their offspring on white storks (Ciconia ciconia)

Alejandro Lopez-Garcia et al.

Summary: The study indicates that foraging at landfills can have both positive and negative effects on reproductive parameters and juvenile survival. While landfills offer abundant and diverse food sources, they may also pose health risks and reduce future survival probability for wildlife.

Flying the extra mile pays-off: Foraging on anthropogenic waste as a time and energy-saving strategy in a generalist bird

Andrea Soriano-Redondo et al.

Summary: The study investigated the foraging decisions of resident white storks in Iberia throughout the year and assessed the energetic and time cost-benefits of foraging on landfill waste and natural food sources. Results showed that foraging on landfill waste is a time- and energy-saving strategy, with birds traveling further during the breeding period but overall spending less energy than when foraging on natural prey.
