Aim Frugivorous birds provide crucial seed-dispersal functions in terrestrial ecosystems. However, the impact of climate change on plant–avian frugivore interactions remains unclear due to past meth...

Through our applied animal movement data analysis courses, both wildlife practitioners and research students receive immersive hands-on training in the utilization of state-of-the-art tools and...

Each year, billions of animals migrate across the globe on diverse spatial and temporal scales. Migration behavior thus plays a fundamental role in...

Operational bird migration forecast models have recently offered promising perspectives for mitigating the impacts of human activities on avifauna. These models improve on simple phenological expectat...

Through our applied animal movement data analysis courses, both wildlife practitioners and research students receive immersive hands-on training in the utilization of state-of-the-art tools and...

Weather radars detect more than weather, they also continuously register the movements of billions of animals (birds, bats, insects) in the air. Those data are now publicly available for large parts o...

Scientific Data - Biological data derived from European weather radars

We show that trait-matching affects avian frugivory on a global scale, and hence, birds with contrasting beaks and diets respond differently to the size and lipid content of fruits. Also, morphologic....

The Swiss Ornithological Institute is a non-profit foundation dedicated to ornithology and the protection of birds. It monitors native birds, researches their way of life and advocates for threatened...

Global biodiversity declines require a step change in monitoring frameworks to properly track and diagnose population trends. National weather surveil…
