It is a golden age for animal movement studies and so an opportune time to assess priorities
for future work. We assembled 40 experts to identify key questions in this field, focussing on …

Myriad tiny insect species take to the air to engage in windborne migration, but entomology
also has its 'charismatic megafauna'of butterflies, large moths, dragonflies and locusts. The …

Long-distance migrations of insects contribute to ecosystem functioning but also have
important economic impacts when the migrants are pests or provide ecosystem services. We …

Fish in schooling formations navigate complex flow fields replete with mechanical energy in
the vortex wakes of their companions. Their schooling behavior has been associated with …

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 …

Despite the fact that migratory insects dominate aerial bioflows in terms of diversity,
abundance, and biomass [1–6], the migration patterns of most species, and the effects of …

BACKGROUND The fall armyworm (FAW), an invasive pest from the Americas, is rapidly
spreading through the Old World, and has recently invaded the Indochinese Peninsula and …

Each year, trillions of insects make long-range seasonal migrations. These movements are
relatively well understood at a population level, but how individual insects achieve them …

The execution of goal-oriented behaviours requires a spatially coherent alignment between
sensory and motor maps. The current model for sensorimotor transformation in the superior …

The metabolic costs of animal movement have been studied extensively under laboratory
conditions, although frequently these are a poor approximation of the costs of operating in …
