Routing the Journey: Loop vs. Direct Migrations of East Asian Songbirds

Tracking ringed birds with miniature geolocators reveals distinctly different migration strategies: clockwise loop migrations in Narcissus Flycatchers and direct routes in Amur Stonechats – highlighting evolutionary, ecological, and conservation implications in the East Asian–Australasian Flyway.

Extinction Crisis Looms for Birds, New Study Warns
A dramatic aerial clash: Ascension Frigatebirds display social and competitive behaviour above their oceanic breeding colony. Once nearly wiped out by invasive predators and habitat loss, this species was highlighted in a recent study among the world’s most functionally unique birds at risk – underscoring the need for targeted recovery, habitat protection, and ecosystem-wide conservation. © Kini Roesler
