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 …

This paper innovatively proposes the Black Kite Algorithm (BKA), a meta-heuristic
optimization algorithm inspired by the migratory and predatory behavior of the black kite …

Although many recent tracking studies have uncovered considerable variation in the
migratory routines of birds, 1, 2 the source of this variation is surprisingly poorly discussed. 3 …

Choosing the right migration timing is critical for migrants because conditions encountered
en route influence movement costs, survival, and, in social migrants, the availability of social …

Animal tracking has become an effective way to identify where and when migratory species
encounter threats throughout their annual cycle. Yet, untracked or poorly tracked species …

Identifying when and where organisms are exposed to anthropogenic change is crucial for
diagnosing the drivers of biodiversity declines and implementing effective conservation …

This study proposes a method based on fully convolutional neural networks (FCNs) to
identify migratory birds from their songs, with the objective of recognizing which birds pass …

Two types of experience affect animals' behavioral proficiencies and, accordingly, their
fitness: early-life experience, an animal's environment during its early development, and …

Migration can be an energetically costly behavior with strong fitness consequences in terms
of mortality and reproduction. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Migrants should select migratory …

Dissecting joint micro-evolutionary and plastic responses to environmental perturbations
requires quantifying interacting components of genetic and environmental variation …
