Carry‐over effects occur when processes in one season influence the success of an
individual in the following season. This phenomenon has the potential to explain a large …

Biodiversity continues to decline, despite the implementation of international conservation
conventions and measures. To counteract biodiversity loss, it is pivotal to know how …

Information about when and where animals die is important to understand population
regulation. In migratory animals, mortality might occur not only during the stationary periods …

The term 'carryover effect'originally arose from repeated measures clinical experiments.
However, the term has more recently been applied to ecological and evolutionary studies …

Migration is the regular seasonal movement of animals from one place to another, often from
a breeding site to a nonbreeding site and back. Because the act of migration makes it …

Human impacts on the world's oceans have been substantial, leading to concerns about the
extinction of marine taxa. We have compiled 133 local, regional and global extinctions of …

Abstract. Understanding habitat quality for birds is crucial for ecologists and managers, but
few papers have explored the advantages and disadvantages of different ways to measure …

When an animal settles preferentially in a habitat within which it does poorly relative to other
available habitats, it is said to have been caught in an “ecological trap.” Although the …

Identifying the factors that control population dynamics in migratory animals has been
constrained by our inability to track individuals throughout the annual cycle. Using stable …

Recent shifts in phenology in response to climate change are well established but often
poorly understood. Many animals integrate climate change across a spatially and temporally …
