Bird migrations are impressive behavioral phenomena, representing complex
spatiotemporal strategies to balance costs of living while maximizing fitness. The field of bird …

The first response exhibited by animals to changing environments is typically behavioral.
Behavior is thus central to predicting, and mitigating, the impacts that natural and …

Groups of animals inhabit vastly different sensory worlds, or umwelten, which shape
fundamental aspects of their behaviour. Yet the sensory ecology of species is rarely …

Quantifying space use and segregation, as well as the extrinsic and intrinsic factors affecting
them, is crucial to increase our knowledge of species‐specific movement ecology and to …

The use of flying robots (drones) is increasing rapidly, but their utility is limited by high power
demand, low specific energy storage and poor gust tolerance. By contrast, birds …

Abstract Information is simultaneously a valuable resource for animals and a tractable
variable for researchers. We propose the name Information Ecology to describe research …

Animals rely on a balance of personal and social information to decide when and where to
move next in order to access a desired resource. The benefits from cueing on conspecifics to …

Movement affects all key behaviours in which animals engage, including dispersal and
habitat use. The red flour beetle, known as a cosmopolitan pest of stored products, was the …

Migration can be an energetically costly behavior with strong fitness consequences in terms
of mortality and reproduction. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Migrants should select migratory …

The complex, interconnected, and non-contiguous nature of canopy environments present
unique cognitive, locomotor, and sensory challenges to their animal inhabitants. Animal …
