Biological Clocks and Bird Migration

  • Chapter
Biological Aspects of Circadian Rhythms

Abstract

Although invasions of such birds as the Crossbill Loxia curvirostra occur at intervals of several years with a regularity which is in itself an intriguing problem of timing, most bird migrations have a more-or-less annual, i.e. circennial rhythm.
