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 …

Migratory connectivity is the degree to which populations are linked in space and time
across the annual cycle. Low connectivity indicates mixing of populations while high …

Understanding migratory connectivity, or the linkage of populations between seasons, is
critical for effective conservation and management of migratory wildlife. A growing number of …

Background Bio-logging devices play a fundamental and indispensable role in movement
ecology studies, particularly in the wild. However, researchers are aware of the influence …

Social isolation has caused several problems, such as increasing income disparities,
aggravated mental problems, and rising crime rate; therefore, various methods have been …

Urbanisation is occurring around the world at a rapid rate and is generally associated with
negative impacts on biodiversity at local, regional, and global scales. Examining the …

Many migratory bird species cross the Mediterranean during autumn migration, but most do
so either at the western or eastern ends where they can avoid, or minimise, sea crossings …

Abstract The Convention of Migratory Species aims to protect migratory animals throughout
their range, but efficient mitigation of threats facing migratory birds is hindered by poor …

A fundamental issue in migration biology is how birds decide when to start their journey,
given that arriving too early or too late in a variable environment reduces individual fitness …
