I am so happy to see our Special Issue titled "New frontiers in avian physiology: what's migration got to do with it?" in the Journal of Avian Biology now published. Editing this issue has been a real pleasure and, in many ways, a small dream come true, as it is one of my favourite journals in the field! The issue compiles a series of exciting studies on topics very close to my research interests, i.e., avian physiology and life-history strategies, including migration.

It was a fantastic collaboration with Dr. Tiia Kärkäinen (Univ. of Turku) and Prof. Dr. Barbara Helm (Swiss Ornithological Institute), as well as the excellent JAB team led by Dr. Michi Tobler and a superstar list of authors who contributed with their original research.
