Seasonal migrations are essential parts of the annual routine in most songbird species that
breed in temperate and northern latitudes. The majority of passerines are small to medium size birds, therefore some advanced techniques such as satellite telemetry are not readily applicable for the...
Successful migration for passerine birds depends largely on the quality of stopover habitats, but we still lack complete knowledge of how migrants search for habitats en route, and how they behave when landing at poor quality stopover sites. We compared the distance of exploratory movements and...
Landscape context influences many aspects of songbird ecology during the breeding season. The importance of landscape context at stopover sites for migrating songbirds, however, has received less attention. In particular, landscape context may affect the availability and quality of food for...

To identify the mechanisms of control of temporal schedule of nocturnal migratory flights in small songbirds in nature, we studied the time of departure in a medium-distance nocturnal migrant, the European robin, on the Courish Spit (southeastern Baltic coast) using radiotelemetry. Exact...

We studied migratory stopovers of nocturnal passerine migrants migrating between the Urals and Siberia and the Near East and Africa (five species) and between European Russia and the Indian subcontinent (two species) in an oasis in the arid belt of the northwestern edge of western Central Asia....
In songbirds, nocturnal activity is believed to be a characteristic feature of migration. However, unlike
experimental conditions where the onset of nocturnal restlessness is defined as a shift of activity leading up
to the dark period, this behaviour has, until now, not been observed in natural...
