Understanding animal movement is essential to elucidate how animals interact, survive, and
thrive in a changing world. Recent technological advances in data collection and …

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

Migrating animals have an impact on ecosystems directly via influxes of predators, prey, and
competitors and indirectly by vectoring nutrients, energy, and pathogens. Although linkages …

Wind energy production has expanded to meet climate change mitigation goals, but
negative impacts of wind turbines have been reported on wildlife. Soaring birds are among …

Soaring birds often rely on ascending thermal plumes (thermals) in the atmosphere as they
search for prey or migrate across large distances,,–. The landscape of convective currents is …

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

Birds and gliders exploit warm, rising atmospheric currents (thermals) to reach heights
comparable to low-lying clouds with a reduced expenditure of energy. This strategy of flight …

Modern, high‐throughput animal tracking increasingly yields 'big data'at very fine temporal
scales. At these scales, location error can exceed the animal's step size, leading to mis …

Due to the potentially detrimental consequences of low performance in basic functional
tasks, individuals are expected to improve performance with age and show the most marked …

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 …
