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

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

Linear regression models are an important statistical tool in evolutionary and ecological
studies. Unfortunately, these models often yield some uninterpretable estimates and …

That senescence is rarely, if ever, observed in natural populations is an oft-quoted fallacy
within bio-gerontology. We identify the roots of this fallacy in the otherwise seminal works of …

Empirical evidence for declines in fitness components (survival and reproductive
performance) with age has recently accumulated in wild populations, highlighting that the …

Many important questions in ecology and evolutionary biology can only be answered with
data that extend over several decades and answering a substantial proportion of questions …

The study of phenotypic evolution should be an integrative endeavor that combines different
approaches and crosses disciplinary and phylogenetic boundaries to consider complex …

The ability of individual organisms to alter morphological and life‐history traits in response to
the conditions they experience is an example of phenotypic plasticity which is fundamental …

Reproductive success usually declines in the course of the season, which may be a direct
effect of breeding time, an effect of quality (individuals with high phenotypic or environmental …
