A Double-Clock or Jetlag Mechanism is Unlikely to be Involved in Detection of East–West Displacements in a Long-Distance Avian Migrant (2010)
Journal Article
Kishkinev, D., Chernetsov, N., & Mouritsen, H. (2010). A Double-Clock or Jetlag Mechanism is Unlikely to be Involved in Detection of East–West Displacements in a Long-Distance Avian Migrant. Auk, 127(4), 773-780. https://doi.org/10.1525/auk.2010.10032

Migratory birds are known to be able to navigate—to determine their position on the globe and the direction toward their distant goal—even if they cannot perceive any information emanating from the goal. One hypothesis, that of true bicoordinate navi...

Visual but not trigeminal mediation of magnetic compass information in a migratory bird (2009)
Journal Article
Zapka, M., Heyers, D., Hein, C. M., Engels, S., Schneider, N., Hans, J., …Mouritsen, H. (2009). Visual but not trigeminal mediation of magnetic compass information in a migratory bird. Nature, 461(7268), 1274-1277. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature08528

Magnetic compass information has a key role in bird orientation1,2,3, but the physiological mechanisms enabling birds to sense the Earth’s magnetic field remain one of the unresolved mysteries in biology2,4. Two biophysical mechanisms have become est... Read More about Visual but not trigeminal mediation of magnetic compass information in a migratory bird.

To what extent do environmental factors affect the long-distance nocturnal post-fledging movements of the Reed Warbler? (2008)
Journal Article
Bulyuk, V. N., Mukhin, A., Kishkinev, D., & Kosarev, V. (2009). To what extent do environmental factors affect the long-distance nocturnal post-fledging movements of the Reed Warbler?. Journal of Ornithology, 150(2), 339-350. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10336-008-0352-4

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...

Migratory programme of juvenile pied flycatchers, Ficedula hypoleuca, from Siberia implies a detour around Central Asia (2007)
Journal Article
Chernetsov, N., Kishkinev, D., Gashkov, S., Kosarev, V., & Bolshakov, C. V. (2008). Migratory programme of juvenile pied flycatchers, Ficedula hypoleuca, from Siberia implies a detour around Central Asia. Animal Behaviour, 75(2), 539-545. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2007.05.019

Field studies suggest that in autumn, passerine Siberian-African migrants make a detour around Central Asia. We tested whether it results from an innate spatiotemporal programme. We hand-raised juvenile pied flycatchers from Europe and western Siberi...

Song of Reed Warbler Acrocephalus scirpaceus (Aves, Sylviidae) as an acoustic marker of wetland habitat during migration (2005)

Juvenile dispersal in Reed Warblers Acrocephalus scirpaceus at night (2000)
Journal Article
Bulyuk, V. N., Mukhin, A., Fedorov, V. A., Tsvey, A., & Kishkinev, D. (2000). Juvenile dispersal in Reed Warblers Acrocephalus scirpaceus at night. Avian Ecology and Behaviour, 5, 45-61

The aim of this study was to test whether juvenile dispersal in Reed Warblers Acrocephalus scirpaceus takes place at night. If this does occur then the questions arise: “in which part of the night, at what age and physiological condition do they disp...
