2. Light-dependent magnetoreception in zebra finches : - from behaviour to receptor
Abstract : It is well known that animals can use a wide variety of information sources to help them orient and navigate asthey move over short or long distances. Birds can rely on information from the sun, the skylight polarizationpattern, the stars, landmarks and the Earth’s magnetic field for orientation and navigation. READ MORE

5. Stopover behaviour in migratory songbirds: timing, orientation and departures
Abstract : Songbird migrants use stopovers between flight bouts to rest and refuel for the upcoming flights. Behaviours affecting where, when and how long to stay at stopover sites will affect how successful the overall migration will be, which has significant consequences for the overall fitness and mortality of the birds.
