Animal tracking and biologging devices record large amounts of data on individual
movement behaviors in natural environments. In these data, movement ecologists often view …

Every year, many wild animals undertake long-distance migration to breed in the north,
taking advantage of seasonally high pulses in food supply, fewer parasites, and lower …

Bird migrations are impressive behavioral phenomena, representing complex
spatiotemporal strategies to balance costs of living while maximizing fitness. The field of bird …

Recent advances in animal tracking reveal that many species display irregular movements
that do not fall into classical categories of movement patterns such as range residency or …

Evidence of social learning is growing across the animal kingdom. Researchers have long
hypothesized that social interactions play a key role in many animal migrations, but strong …

While the tendency to return to previously visited locations—termed 'site fidelity'—is common
in animals, the cause of this behaviour is not well understood. One hypothesis is that site …

Many species migrate long distances annually between their breeding and wintering areas.
Although global change affects both ranges, impact assessments have generally focused on …

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 …

Organismal movement is ubiquitous and facilitates important ecological mechanisms that
drive community and metacommunity composition and hence biodiversity. In most existing …

Migrating animals may benefit from social or experiential learning, yet whether and how
these learning processes interact or change over time to produce observed migration …
