Migratory orientation of juvenile Pied Flycatchers (Ficedula hypoleuca L.) from the Eastern Baltic (2006)
Journal Article

Migratory programme of juvenile pied flycatchers, Ficedula hypoleuca, from Siberia implies a detour around Central Asia (2007)
Journal Article

Field studies suggest that in autumn, passerine Siberian-African migrants make a detour around Central Asia. We tested whether it results from an innate spatiotemporal programme. We hand-raised juvenile pied flycatchers from Europe and western Siberi...

Acoustic information as a distant cue for habitat recognition by nocturnally migrating passerines during landfall (2008)
Journal Article

During migration, birds must fly over suboptimal habitats differing from those selected during breeding and wintering. Nocturnally migrating passerines need to assess the suitability of potential stopover habitats during landfall. Before actual landf...

A Long-Distance Avian Migrant Compensates for Longitudinal Displacement during Spring Migration (2008)
Journal Article

In order to perform true bicoordinate navigation, migratory birds need to be able to determine geographic latitude and longitude. The determination of latitude is relatively easy from either stellar or magnetic cues 1, 2, 3, but the determination of...

To what extent do environmental factors affect the long-distance nocturnal post-fledging movements of the Reed Warbler? (2008)
Journal Article

We studied the effects of weather and the lunar cycle on long-distance nocturnal pre-migratory flights of Reed Warblers (Acrocephalus scirpaceus). Noturnal tape luring was used to capture the birds, and the study was carried out in a habitat atypical...
