The dynamic over-wintering range of migratory birds, resulting from the 'foxtrot migration' pattern, reveals potential errors in single mid-winter population assessments and highlights implications for their conservation status.

I'm super excited to share our new paper on Norwegian lemming genomics just published in @pnas.org!! Read the paper here: www.pnas.org/doi/epub/10....
Summary ⬇️

Overall, this study highlights the flexibility of migratory birds in responding to climate change but raises important questions about the long-term consequences of these adjustments.

The study shows migratory birds arrive earlier in the Arctic due to climate-related shifts. Some species adjust timing using stopover cues, while others arrive earlier by migrating faster. These changes enable earlier breeding but may have ecological trade-offs.

Migratory Birds Advance Spring Arrival and Egg‐Laying in the Arctic, Mostly by Travelling Faster A warming climate is affecting the phenology of life on earth, including when birds migrate and start breeding. We show that earlier arrival is a general pattern also for birds travelling to the Arct...
