Resource tracking, where animals increase energy gain by moving to track phenological
variation in resources across space, is emerging as a fundamental attribute of animal …

Tactics of resource use for reproduction are an important feature of life-history strategies. A
distinction is made between 'capital'breeders, which finance reproduction using stored …

The green wave hypothesis (GWH) states that migrating animals should track or 'surf'high-
quality forage at the leading edge of spring green-up. To index such high-quality forage …

Migratory birds track seasonal resources across and between continents. We propose a
general strategy of tracking the broad seasonal abundance of resources throughout the …

Each spring, migratory herbivores around the world track or 'surf'green waves of newly
emergent vegetation to distant summer or wet‐season ranges. This foraging tactic may help …

Newly emerging plants provide the best forage for herbivores. To exploit this fleeting
resource, migrating herbivores align their movements to surf the wave of spring green-up …

Metacommunity theory provides an understanding of how spatial processes determine the
structure and function of communities at local and regional scales. Although metacommunity …

Stopovers comprise a significant proportion of the time that many birds spend migrating, and
researchers have long relied on these events to define and classify broader migratory …

The seasonal movement of animals has been linked to seasonal variation in ecological
productivity, and it has been hypothesized that primary consumers synchronize migration …

Herbivorous animals tend to seek out plants at intermediate phenological states to improve
energy intake while minimizing consumption of fibrous material. In some ecosystems, the …
