Animal migration has been the subject of intensive research for more than a century, but
most research has focused on long‐distance rather than short‐distance migration. Altitudinal …

Altitudinal migration is the seasonal altitudinal movement of birds from breeding areas to
non‐breeding or wintering areas at different elevations. Although this type of migration is …

Altitudinal bird migration involves annual seasonal movements up and down elevational
gradients. Despite the fact that species from montane avifaunas worldwide engage in …

Altitudinal migrations are common in all major vertebrate and some invertebrate lineages.
Such migrations have important implications for the basic and applied ecology of animals …

Abstract Knowledge on species distributions and seasonal movement patterns within
landscapes is important for understanding their ecology and roles in agroecosystems, and is …

Sperm competition represents an important component of post-copulatory sexual selection.
It has been argued that the level of sperm competition declines in birds towards the equator …

A number of insects have been suggested to perform seasonal migration between low‐and
high‐altitude areas. In these insects, support for the occurrence of migration mainly came …

Elevational migration is a widespread phenomenon in tropical avifauna but it is difficult to
identify using traditional approaches. Hydrogen isotope (δ2H) values of precipitation …

Altitudinal migration by birds in the tropics is poorly described and the migratory patterns of
many species remain unknown. Stable‐isotope analysis may be a suitable method for …

Migratory behavior in bats is poorly described, particularly in the Neotropics. Stable‐
hydrogen isotope (δD) analysis may allow tracking of altitudinal movements of bats but has …
