Bird migration is one of the greatest wildlife spectacles, producing massive global changes
in the distributions of birds twice each year. To understand the evolution of this …

The twenty-first century has witnessed an explosion in research on animal migration, in
large part due to a technological revolution in tracking and remote-sensing technologies …

Untangling the spatial and temporal processes that influence population dynamics of
migratory species is challenging, because changes in abundance are shaped by variation in …

Long‐distance migrations are among the most physically demanding feats animals perform.
Understanding the potential costs and benefits of such behaviour is a fundamental question …

Understanding the susceptibility of highly mobile taxa such as migratory birds to global
change requires information on geographic patterns of occurrence across the annual cycle …

Predicting how the range dynamics of migratory species will respond to climate change
requires a mechanistic understanding of the factors that operate across the annual cycle to …

Nearly 300 species of landbirds, whose populations total billions, migrate between the
Neotropics and North America. Many migratory populations are in steep decline, and …

Long‐distance migratory flights are predicted to be associated with higher mortality rates
when individuals encounter adverse weather conditions. However, directly connecting …

The annual cycle of most animals is structured into discrete stages, such as breeding,
migration and dispersal. While there is growing appreciation of the importance of different …

Seasonal migrations are fascinating and ecologically important, but many migratory species
are declining as climate change and land‐use change alter the habitats used by migrants …
