Saravia, M., et al. (2022). "Using satellite telemetry to study juvenile black storks' migratory behavior and survival during the first migration."
This study analyzes the survival rates, mortality causes, and movement patterns of juvenile black storks during their first migration. The findings include specific risks encountered by the juveniles, such as extreme weather events or exhaustion, which impact their success in reaching sub-Saharan Africa.

López-López, P., et al. (2021). "Juvenile migration and its ecological significance: A study of juvenile black storks (Ciconia nigra) in the Western Palearctic."
This paper focuses on juvenile black stork migration in the Western Palearctic, emphasizing their learning curve, the development of their migratory skills, and the ecological pressures they face. It includes data from multiple European countries and offers a comprehensive look at how juvenile storks navigate various challenges during migration.

Iffland, H. et al. (2020). "Age-dependent migration patterns in black storks (Ciconia nigra) and the influence of environmental conditions."
This study explores how juvenile black storks develop their migratory skills and how environmental conditions influence their departure times.

Völker, M., et al. (2019). "Satellite tracking reveals juvenile black storks’ migration patterns and their separation from adult migration."
This research highlights the distances traveled by juveniles and the timing of their migration, underscoring the delay in departure relative to adults.

Iffland, H., et al. (2018). "GPS tracking reveals seasonal movement patterns of juvenile black storks (Ciconia nigra) and their use of migratory stopovers."
This paper looks at juvenile black storks' movement during their migration, with a focus on stopovers and how these young birds use different habitats for rest and food during migration. The study contributes to understanding their flight path flexibility and habitat preferences.

Ribeiro, A., et al. (2017). "Long-distance migration and ecological interactions in juvenile black storks (Ciconia nigra) tracked by GPS."
This research dives into the juvenile storks' interactions with environmental factors such as prey abundance and weather conditions along their migratory route. It also investigates whether there are significant differences in migration behavior between juveniles that are part of the same cohort but depart at slightly different times.

Schneider, M. et al. (2016). "Migration of black storks (Ciconia nigra) tracked by satellite: Insights from GPS data."
This study provides information on the migration patterns of both adult and juvenile black storks and their use of thermals for migration.

Koster, J., et al. (2015). "Migration strategies and route fidelity in juvenile black storks tracked by satellite."
This study examines juvenile black storks' migration routes and their ability to navigate using environmental cues, such as wind direction and thermal currents. It provides insights into the individual variability in migration strategies among juveniles, showing how they learn and adapt their routes over the course of the journey.

Liangliang Yang, Wenxia Wang, Rien E. Van Wijk, Huaiqing Deng, Xianda Li, Yumin Guo, Differences in migration strategies between rescued juvenile and adult Oriental white storks (Ciconia boyciana) and the conservation implications,
Global Ecology and Conservation, Volume 30, 2021, e01760, ISSN 2351-9894, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gecco.2021.e01760.

The Oriental white stork (Ciconia boyciana), an endangered species with around 2,500 individuals globally, has limited data on its behaviors, especially migration and habitat use. This study tracked 11 storks (9 juveniles, 2 adults) rescued in the Sanjiang Plain using GPS/GSM telemetry. While all individuals joined wild migrating groups, juvenile migration routes were more variable than those of adults. Juveniles showed a preference for artificial habitats, such as rice paddies and fish farms, which may lead to human-wildlife conflict and affect their survival. Notably, eight of the nine juveniles died by the end of the study. These findings highlight the risks of releasing rescued juveniles into unsuitable environments, underlining the need to minimise human contact and reduce their reliance on artificial habitats for better long-term survival.

every information is very interesting and in my opinion they are applicable for BS too
