This project investigates how the hormone ghrelin influences energy metabolism and behavior in migrating birds. By combining field studies and laboratory experiments, it aims to understand the physiological adaptations that support long-distance migration.
Every year, billions of birds cover long distances to migrate between breeding areas and favourable wintering grounds.
During migratory flights, birds almost exclusively rely on fat stores as energy source.
Avian migration typically involves an alternation between long, exhausting flights and stopover periods to rest and refuel, with consequent changes in foraging behaviour and metabolism.
We are just starting to understand the mechanisms regulating these transitions.
