Many birds make stops during their migratory journeys. While it is commonly assumed that individuals stop primarily or exclusively in order to replenish energy stores, other non-fueling behaviors have also been described during stopover events. For instance, birds may need to stop or prolong their time at a stopping site in order to recover from bodily stress, catch up on lost sleep, wait for better travel conditions, or reconvene with other migrants. In their new publication entitled "Beyond refueling: Investigating the diversity of functions of migratory stopover events", Jennifer Linscott and Nate Senner describe how individual tracking datasets can explore diverse functions for avian migratory stopovers. They also examine emerging research directions that infer behavior from movement paths and predict responsiveness to future environmental change at stopover sites.  Jenny's publication was named Editor's Choice and is a finalist for the American Ornithological Society's Lanyon Young Investigator Award!
