Nov 8, 2020 · In this Article, we outline the existing scientific, legal, and management information and approaches to migratory species. Our objective is to assess present capacity to protect the species and the phenomenon of migration, and we argue that al three disciplines are necessary for effective conservation.

Nov 17, 2020 · Our results showed that pace of life and migratory probability were positively associated, i.e., species with a faster pace of life were more likely to be migrants in mammals and birds, and ...

Apr 21, 2010 · Billions of animals migrate each year. To successfully reach their destination, migrants must have evolved an appropriate genetic program and suitable developmental, morphological, physiological, biomechanical, behavioral, and life-history traits.

We review examples from across the animal kingdom to distill fundamental processes by which migratory animals influence communities and ecosystems, demonstrating that they can uniquely alter energy flow, food-web topology and stability, trophic cascades, and the structure of metacommunities.

Sep 10, 2018 · Their total annual migration circuit extends over 30,000 km covered in three main flights (Figure 1). Although diapause with hibernation as egg, pupae, larvae or adult is an important strategy among insects, there are also examples of impressive migrations.

Jul 17, 2014 · This sequel discusses migration across a wide range of groups and species drawing comparisons to illuminate migratory life cycles and their evolution. It takes an integrative approach to migration as a physiological and behavioural phenomenon with important ecological consequences.
Feb 6, 2019 · Using these two species as focal examples, we highlight how integrating a diverse array of approaches used in behavioural ecology, sensory biology, evolutionary biology, genetics and molecular biology can be leveraged to move the field of migration genetics forward.
