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

Addressing important questions in animal ecology, physiology, and environmental science
often requires in situ information from wild animals. This difficulty is being overcome by …

It is a golden age for animal movement studies and so an opportune time to assess priorities
for future work. We assembled 40 experts to identify key questions in this field, focussing on …

Migration, broadly defined as directional movement to take advantage of spatially distributed
resources, is a dramatic behaviour and an important component of many life histories that …

Pelagic marine predators face unprecedented challenges and uncertain futures.
Overexploitation and climate variability impact the abundance and distribution of top …

It has been suggested that birds migrate faster in spring than in autumn because of
competition for arrival order at breeding grounds and environmental factors such as …

Tests of hypotheses about the biogeographical consequences of long-distance dispersal
have long eluded biologists, largely because of the rarity and presumed unpredictability of …

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

Abstract The Green Wave Hypothesis posits that herbivore migration manifests in response
to waves of spring green‐up (ie green‐wave surfing). Nonetheless, empirical support for the …

The study of long-distance migration provides insights into the habits and performance of
organisms at the limit of their physical abilities. The Arctic tern Sterna paradisaea is the …
