Habitat fragmentation is a major threat to biodiversity, but existing literature largely ignores
naturally patchy ecosystems in favor of forests, where deforestation creates spatially distinct …

Understanding migratory connectivity, or the linkage of populations between seasons, is
critical for effective conservation and management of migratory wildlife. A growing number of …

Understanding the geographic linkages among populations across the annual cycle is an
essential component for understanding the ecology and evolution of migratory species and …

In birds, the process of speciation is closely associated with transitions in ornamentation,
including coloration, plumage pattern, and song. To investigate the origins of these shifts …

Bird populations within the same species may follow different migratory strategies and
phenology depending on their breeding location and latitude, and migratory strategies may …

Tracking climatic conditions throughout the year is often assumed to be an adaptive
behaviour underlying seasonal migration patterns in animal populations. We investigate this …

ABSTRACT Conservation of North American migratory birds requires information about their
movements and regulating factors throughout the annual cycle. Over the past 10 or more …

Tracking climatic conditions throughout the year is often assumed to be an adaptive
behavior underlying seasonal migration patterns in animal populations. In this study, we …

Global biodiversity loss is one of the foremost concerns of conservation efforts in the 21 st
century. The maintenance of genetic diversity within species is a critical factor in a species' …

Extreme endurance flights during migration–Gill et al.(2009) used satellite telemetry to track
the southward flights of Bar-tailed Godwits (Limosa lapponica baueri) from breeding areas in …
