Background Every year, billions of migratory animals cross the planet in pursuit of increased
foraging opportunities, improved safety, and higher reproductive output. In so doing, these …

Conditions fish encounter during embryogenesis and early life history can leave lasting
effects not only on morphology, but also on growth rate, life‐history and behavioural traits …

For vertebrates, annual cycles are organized into a series of breeding and non-breeding
periods that vary in duration and location but are inextricably linked biologically. Here, we …

The study of animal movement has always been a key element in ecological science,
because it is inherently linked to critical processes that scale from individuals to populations …

Migration, broadly defined as directional movement to take advantage of spatially distributed
resources, is a dramatic behaviour and an important component of many life histories that …

Birds of prey have been, in comparison to other avian groups, an uncommon study model,
mainly due to the limitations imposed by their conservative life strategy (low population …

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

Ecologists and many evolutionary biologists relate the variation in physiological,
behavioural, life‐history, demographic, population and community traits to the variation in …

In 2007, the first miniature light-level geolocators were deployed on small landbirds,
revolutionizing the study of migration. In this paper, we review studies that have used …

With many of the world's migratory bird populations in alarming decline, broad‐scale
assessments of responses to migratory hazards may prove crucial to successful …
