New paper led by @rafnuss.bsky.social! We present a new tool for tracking aerial insectivores such as swifts, swallows, and bee-eaters. For these species, pressure and activity data cannot distinguish stopovers from migratory flight. New sensor and R package help solve this problem. Check it out! 🧭
Raphaël NussbaumerCan a tiny magnetic sensor help geolocate migratory birds? 🧭 Earth’s magnetic field varies across the globe in both intensity and inclination. We asked whether those spatial patterns can turn magnetometer data from lightweight tags into location estimates.
