Hippocampal neurogenesis and volume in migrating and wintering semipalmated sandpipers (Calidris pusilla)

Long distance migratory birds find their way by sensing and integrating information from a large number of cues in their environment. These cues are essential to navigate over thousands of kilometers and reach the same breeding, stopover, and wintering sites every year. The semipalmated sandpiper (C...
