Climate warming in the Arctic has led to warmer and earlier springs, and as a result, many
food resources for migratory animals become available earlier in the season, as well as
become distributed further northwards. To optimally profit from these resources, migratory
animals are expected to arrive earlier in the Arctic, as well as shift their own spatial
distributions northwards. Here, we review literature to assess whether Arctic migratory birds
and mammals already show shifts in migration timing or distribution in response to the …
