Few studies have considered the impact of weather events on migratory birds during
stopover, and essentially none on how hurricanes affect their stopover biology during spring …

Every spring, billions of Nearctic-Neotropical landbird migrants travel from tropical wintering
grounds in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America to temperate breeding …

The Gulf of Mexico is a conspicuous feature of the Neotropical–Nearctic bird migration
system. Traveling long distances across ecological barriers comes with considerable risks …

Discussion On a geographical scale, South Florida is a very important stepping stone in the
migration of songbirds along the Atlantic flyway in fall, and a significant percentage of the …

It is not known whether en route fall migratory birds (August-October) are likely to suffer more
from direct or secondary effects of hurricanes. On September 24, 2005, Hurricane Rita …

The annual migration of birds between wintering and breeding grounds requires birds to
traverse novel landscapes while minimizing mortality and energetic costs in route. In …

For migratory birds, timing of arrival and energetic condition on arrival at the breeding
grounds are influenced by en route events. Both arrival timing and condition are thought to …

The dynamic weather conditions that migrating birds experience during flight likely influence
where they stop to rest and refuel, particularly after navigating inhospitable terrain or large …

The migratory period is a critical time for birds. Population declines in long-distance
migratory birds have been associated with trophic mismatches among climate change …

This research represents the first comprehensive summary of our study of stopover ecology
of migratory landbirds in riparian habitats along the middle Rio Grande of central New …
