We studied the effects of weather and the lunar cycle on long-distance nocturnal pre-migratory flights of Reed Warblers (Acrocephalus scirpaceus). Noturnal tape luring was used to capture the birds, and the study was carried out in a habitat atypical...

Acoustic information as a distant cue for habitat recognition by nocturnally migrating passerines during landfall (2008)
Journal Article
Mukhin, A., Chernetsov, N., & Kishkinev, D. (2008). Acoustic information as a distant cue for habitat recognition by nocturnally migrating passerines during landfall. Behavioral Ecology, 19(4), 716-723. https://doi.org/10.1093/beheco/arn025

During migration, birds must fly over suboptimal habitats differing from those selected during breeding and wintering. Nocturnally migrating passerines need to assess the suitability of potential stopover habitats during landfall. Before actual landf...

A Long-Distance Avian Migrant Compensates for Longitudinal Displacement during Spring Migration (2008)
Journal Article
Chernetsov, N., Kishkinev, D., & Mouritsen, H. (2008). A Long-Distance Avian Migrant Compensates for Longitudinal Displacement during Spring Migration. Current Biology, 18(3), 188-190. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2008.01.018

In order to perform true bicoordinate navigation, migratory birds need to be able to determine geographic latitude and longitude. The determination of latitude is relatively easy from either stellar or magnetic cues 1, 2, 3, but the determination of...
