In most long‐distance migratory birds, juveniles migrate without their parents and so are
likely to lack detailed knowledge of where to go. This suggests the potential for stochasticity …

Information about when and where animals die is important to understand population
regulation. In migratory animals, mortality might occur not only during the stationary periods …

Animal migration has long intrigued scientists and wildlife managers alike, yet migratory
species face increasing challenges because of habitat fragmentation, climate change and …

In the past 50 years, the field of animal navigation has been growing fast. The birds are by
far the best studied group, and their orientation mechanisms are better known than that of …

Annual migratory movements can range from a few tens to thousands of kilometers, creating
unique energetic requirements for each specific species and journey. Even within the same …

Birds that migrate long distances use stopover sites to optimize fuel loads and complete
migration as quickly as possible. Stopover use has been predicted to facilitate a time …

Migrating birds make the longest non‐stop endurance flights in the animal kingdom. Satellite
technology is now providing direct evidence on the lengths and durations of these flights …

Billions of organisms, from bacteria to humans, migrate each year and research on their
migration biology is expanding rapidly through ever more sophisticated remote sensing …

Tracking repeat migratory journeys of individual animals is required to assess phenotypic
plasticity of individual migration behaviour in space and time. We used light-level …

The annual life cycle of many birds includes breeding, moult and migration. All these
processes are time and energy consuming and the extent of investment in any one may …
