Avian spring migration at the east Adriatic coast: coastal and sea-crossing dynamics of intensity, timing, and flight directions by Simon Hirschhofer, Peter Ranacher, Barbara Helm, Davor Ćiković, Robert Weibel, Sanja Barišić, Vesna Tutiš, Louie Taylor, Maja Bjelić Laušić, Baptiste Schmid

“…These radars tracked migratory bird activity up to 1000 m above ground, recording intensity and flight directions and their variations across sites, seasons, and individual nights. We conducted an exploratory analysis of these variations, applied functional principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering to summarise within-night activity profiles, and compared these profiles between sites and across the migration season, alongside associated flight direction distributions. …”
