📢 happy to share our new paper in @molecology.bsky.social Common chiffchaff subspecies diverge in the same migration-related region as willow warblers (see thread): onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🐦🌙 Happy to see this big collaborative paper out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! We address a seemingly simple question using geolocator data collected across many species and individuals: how much of bird migration actually happens at night? www.cell.com/current-biol... A short🧵

Small migratory birds cross deserts and seas as part of their annual migration. But how? Our new study shows how thrush nightingales do it: by flying night after night and stopping during the day, when they remain innactive🐦➡️(1/3) doi.org/10.1098/rsbl... @royalsocietypublishing.org #BirdMigration

🎥 Video abstract: did you miss the video abstract of the winning paper from the 2023 review award? Here it is again 🙂 @viocablop.bsky.social and Staffan Bensch review the genetic mechanisms that may underlie migratory behaviour #migration #genetics #ornithology #birds
