This study explores the migration routes, arrival dates, and laying dates of the Pied Flycatcher in relation to temperature fluctuations and climate change. It examines how melanocyte and keratinocyte regulation influence their seasonal behaviors, focusing on hormone responses like melatonin in the anterior pituitary. Collaboratively authored by experts in ecology and biology, the research assesses whether these birds can adapt their migratory patterns and reproductive timing to ongoing environmental changes, shedding light on their survival strategies.
