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 …

Migratory species are rapidly declining but we rarely know which periods of the annual cycle
are limiting for most species. This knowledge is needed to effectively allocate conservation …

For many avian species, spatial migration patterns remain largely undescribed, especially
across hemispheric extents. Recent advancements in tracking technologies and high …

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

The strength of migratory connectivity is a measure of the cohesion of populations among
phases of the annual cycle, including breeding, migration, and wintering. Many Nearctic …

Pleistocene climate cycles are well documented to have shaped contemporary species
distributions and genetic diversity. Northward range expansions in response to deglaciation …

Simple Summary Mites of the family Syringophilidae (Acariformes: Cheyletoidea)—also
called quill mites—are permanent and highly specialized ectoparasites of birds living inside …

Long‐distance dispersal (LDD) outside a species' breeding range contributes to genetic
divergence. Previous phylogeographic studies of migratory bird species have not …

Many groups of parasites lack basic information on biodiversity and host associations, which
poses challenges for conservation and understanding the ecological relationships between …

Due to the biological uniqueness of the Galápagos Islands, ectoparasites of their avian
fauna are relatively well-studied compared with other oceanic islands. However, in this …
