Mainstream statistical methodology is generally applicable to data observed in Euclidean
space. There are, however, numerous contexts of considerable scientific interest in which …

The advent of miniaturized biologging devices has provided ecologists with unprecedented
opportunities to record animal movement across scales, and led to the collection of ever …

Light‐level geolocator tags use ambient light recordings to estimate the whereabouts of an
individual over the time it carried the device. Over the past decade, these tags have …

Predicting how the range dynamics of migratory species will respond to climate change
requires a mechanistic understanding of the factors that operate across the annual cycle to …

The evolution of migration routes in birds remains poorly understood as changes in
migration strategies are rarely observed on contemporary timescales. 1–3 The Richard's …

The ecoevolutionary drivers of species niche expansion or contraction are critical for
biodiversity but challenging to infer. Niche expansion may be promoted by local adaptation …

Migratory species can experience limiting factors at different locations and during different
periods of their annual cycle. In migratory birds, these factors may even occur in different …

Light‐level geolocators are popular bio‐logging tools, with advantageous sizes, longevity
and affordability. Biologists tracking seabirds often presume geolocator spatial accuracies …

Seasonal migration is a complex and variable behaviour with the potential to promote
reproductive isolation. In Eurasian blackcaps (Sylvia atricapilla), a migratory divide in central …

Background Understanding the evolution of migration requires knowledge of the patterns,
sources, and consequences of variation in migratory behaviour, a need exacerbated by the …
