Global movement patterns of migratory birds illustrate their fascinating physical and
physiological abilities to cross continents and oceans. During their voyages, most birds land …

The extraordinary adaptations of birds to contend with atmospheric conditions during their
migratory flights have captivated ecologists for decades. During the 21st century …

Migration conveys an immense challenge, especially for juvenile birds coping with enduring
and risky journeys shortly after fledging. Accordingly, juveniles exhibit considerably lower …

Abstract. Historically, studies of habitat selection have focused on quantifying how current
patterns of habitat occupancy influence condition and survival within a season. This …

Billions of organisms, from bacteria to humans, migrate each year and research on their
migration biology is expanding rapidly through ever more sophisticated remote sensing …

How animals refine migratory behavior over their lifetime (ie, the ontogeny of migration) is an
enduring question with important implications for predicting the adaptive capacity of …

The annual life cycle of many birds includes breeding, moult and migration. All these
processes are time and energy consuming and the extent of investment in any one may …

Migratory animals show a suite of adaptations to cope with their journeys. These include not
only morphological features for efficient locomotion and storage of energy but also …

Which factors shape animals' migration movements across large geographical scales, how
different migratory strategies emerge between populations, and how these may affect …

Knowledge about migratory connectivity, the degree to which individuals from the same
breeding site migrate to the same wintering site, is essential to understand processes …
