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...

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...

📡 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 📡
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.

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

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!
