Overwinter survival of neotropical migratory birds in early-successional and mature tropical forests Overwinter survival of neotropical migratory birds in early-successional and mature tropical forests

Many Neotropical migratory species inhabit both mature and earty-successional forests on their wintering grounds, yet comparisons of survival rates between habitats are lacking. Consequently, the factors affecting habitat suitability for Neotropical migrants and the potential effects of tropical deforestation on migrants are not well understood. We estimated overwinter survival and...

Year-round movements of a Wahlberg's Eagle Aquila wahlbergi tracked by satellite Year-round movements of a Wahlberg's Eagle Aquila wahlbergi tracked by satellite

An adult female Wahlberg's Eagle from northern Namibia was tracked by satellite ovcr a total distance of 8816 km and located 104 times between 11 February and 4 November 1994. It migrated on an almost due north heading to northern Cameroon, north-eastern Nigeria and western Chad through the rain forest belt of the Congo and Zaire after the breeding season.
