🕊️ How do birds know when to migrate?
Our new Biology Open paper shows that spring migration timing in great reed warblers has a genetic component—linked to fat metabolism genes suggesting that birds that fuel up faster may be ready to leave Africa sooner. More journals.biologists.com/bio/article/...

Out in @animalecology.bsky.social and open access, this beauty showing that older common terns navigate more efficiently than younger ones and that efficient navigation leads to a reduced migration duration and earlier arrival at the breeding and wintering grounds: doi.org/10.1111/1365...

Now this is exciting.
Antonin and his team have just published a study showing that the number of migrating hoverflies through Czechia are positively correlated with the numbers of birds!
Suggests that the birds are using the flies as fuel on migration.
