Anthropogenic food subsidies reshape the migratory behaviour of a long-distance...
Marcelino, J.; Franco, A.M.A.; Acácio, M.; Soriano-Redondo, A.; Moreira, F.; Catry, I.Bird migratory journeys are often long and hostile, requiring high energetic expenditure, and thus forcing birds to pause between migratory flights. Stopover sites allow migrants to replenish fuel reserves and rest, being crucial for the success of migration. Worldwide, the increasing accumulation of waste on landfills and rubbish dumps has been described to provide superabundant food resources for many bird sp...
Performance of GPS/GPRS tracking devices improves with increased fix interval a...
Acácio, M.; Atkinson, P.W.; Silva, J.P.; Franco, A.M.A.The use of GPS tracking technologies has revolutionized the study of animal movement providing unprecedentedly detailed information. The characterization of GPS accuracy and precision under different conditions is essential to correctly identify the spatial and temporal resolution at which studies can be conducted. Here, we examined the influence of fix acquisition interval and device deployment on the performa...
