Dynamics of Naïve White Storks Ciconia Ciconia Migrating at the Central European Migratory Divide during 1947–2018

Abstract

Over the past few decades, shifts in avian phenology and migration have been reported in an increasing number of avian species, often with profound effects on population dynamics and evolutionary processes. Earlier arrivals to breeding grounds and breeding times, shortening of migratory distances and even ongoing adaptation to global environmental change by emergence of novel migratory routes and sedentariness have been documented (
