Oviposition-site choice is a major maternal effect by which females can affect the survival
and phenotype of their offspring. Across oviparous species, the ultimate reasons for females' …

Conservation efforts are most effective when we have complete demographic information for
a species of concern. Nevertheless, fundamental gaps in our knowledge of demography still …

Natal dispersal is a process that is critical in the spatial dynamics of populations, including
population spread, recolonization, and gene flow. It is a central focus of conservation issues …

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 …

Southeast Asia is a hotspot of imperilled biodiversity, owing to extensive logging and forest
conversion to oil palm agriculture. The degraded forests that remain after multiple rounds of …

Dispersal distance, the Euclidian distance between 'start'and 'end'points of a dispersal
event, is recognized as a fundamental characteristic of the dispersal process, defined here …

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

Spatially explicit population models (SEPMs) are often considered the best way to predict
and manage species distributions in spatially heterogeneous landscapes. However, they …

Habitat loss and fragmentation affect forest birds through direct loss of breeding habitats,
detrimental edge effects such as increased nest predation and brood parasitism, and …
