Interest in studying cognitive ecology has moved the field of animal cognition into the wild.
Animals face many challenges such as finding food and other resources, avoiding and …

Although decades of research have deepened our understanding of the proximate triggers
and ultimate drivers of migrations for a range of taxa, how populations establish migrations …

Animals interact with and impact ecosystem biogeochemical cycling—processes known as
zoogeochemistry. While the deposition of various animal materials (eg carcasses and …

Strontium isotopes analysis is a powerful tool in the study of past animal movements, notably
the sequential analysis of tooth enamel to reconstruct individual movements in a time-series …

Long‐distance migrations are a striking, and strikingly successful, adaptation for highly
mobile terrestrial animals in seasonal environments. However, it remains an open question …

Warming temperatures and advancing spring are affecting annual snow and ice cycles, as
well as plant phenology, across the Arctic and boreal regions. These changes may be linked …

Animals interact with nutrient cycles by consuming and depositing nutrients, interactions
studied separately in nutritional ecology and zoogeochemistry. Recent theoretical work …

Given the patchiness and long-term predictability of marine resources, memory of high-
quality foraging grounds is expected to provide fitness advantages for central place foragers …

Site fidelity—the tendency to reuse familiar spaces—is expected to improve fitness.
Familiarity with the local environment is particularly crucial when resource demands or …

How animals use their range can have physiological, ecological, and demographic
repercussions, as well as impact management decisions, species conservation, and human …
