Our understanding of migratory birds' year‐round ecology and evolution remains patchy
despite recent fundamental advances. Periodic reviews focus future research and inform …

Considerable advances in understanding of biological connectivity have flowed from studies
of fish-facilitated connectivity within the coastal ecosystem mosaic. However, there are limits …

Migratory bird needs must be met during four phases of the year: breeding season, fall
migration, wintering, and spring migration; thus, management may be needed during all four …

Identifying the determinants of habitat quality for a species is essential for understanding
how populations are limited and regulated. Spatiotemporal variation in moisture and its …

One of the greatest challenges to informed conservation of migratory animals is elucidating
spatiotemporal variation in distributions. Without such information, it is impossible to …

Population limitation models of migratory birds have sought to include impacts from events
across the full annual cycle. Previous work has shown that events occurring in winter result …

Background Extensive work has shown that vectors almost never feed at random. Often, a
subset of individual hosts and host species are fed on much more frequently than expected …

The behavior of roosting birds has received little attention from ornithologists, despite its
importance for understanding the complete avian circadian cycle. We examined the spatial …

Most birds sleep while roosting at night. Although a widespread behavior, few investigators
have studied the nocturnal roosting behavior of birds. Studies conducted to date have either …

Recent evidence indicates that insectivorous birds in shade coffee farms provide
economically significant ecosystem services by reducing insect pests, which should …
