This paper advances an hypothesis that the primary adaptive driver of seasonal migration is
maintenance of site fidelity to familiar breeding locations. We argue that seasonal migration …

The extraordinary adaptations of birds to contend with atmospheric conditions during their
migratory flights have captivated ecologists for decades. During the 21st century …

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

Estimating how much long‐distance migrant populations spread out and mix during the non‐
breeding season (migratory connectivity) is essential for understanding and predicting …

Aim Global declines in the populations of migratory species have been attributed largely to
climate change and anthropogenic habitat change. However, the relative contribution of …

Animals migrate in response to seasonal environments, to reproduce, to benefit from
resource pulses, or to avoid fluctuating hazards. Although climate change is predicted to …

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

Decreases in shorebird populations are increasingly evident worldwide, especially in the
East Asian—Australasian Flyway (EAAF). To arrest these declines, it is important to …

Technological innovations have led to exciting fast-moving developments in science. Today,
we are living in a technology-driven era of biological discovery. Consequently, tracking …

Each year, billions of flying and swimming migrants negotiate the challenging displacement
imposed by travelling through a flowing medium. However, little is known about how the …
