Conservation physiology of animal migration. [PDF]
Conserv Physiol, 2016 Migration is a widespread phenomenon among many taxa. This complex behaviour enables animals to exploit many temporally productive and spatially discrete habitats to accrue various fitness benefits (e.g. growth, reproduction, predator avoidance). Human activities and global environmental change represent potential threats to migrating animals (from ...

Linking animal migration and ecosystem processes: Data-driven simulation of propagule dispersal by migratory herbivores. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 Animal migration is a key process underlying active subsidies and species dispersal over long distances, which affects the connectivity and functioning of ecosystems.

A multi-species evaluation of digital wildlife monitoring using the Sigfox IoT network
Animal Biotelemetry, 2023 Bio-telemetry from small tags attached to animals is one of the principal methods for studying the ecology and behaviour of wildlife. The field has constantly evolved over the last 80 years as technological improvement enabled a diversity of sensors to ...

Wing tags severely impair movement in African Cape Vultures
Animal Biotelemetry, 2021 Background The use of tracking technologies is key for the study of animal movement and pivotal to ecological and conservation research. However, the potential effects of devices attached to animals are sometimes neglected. The impact of tagging not only

Domestication effect of reduced brain size is reverted when mink become feral
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 A typical consequence of breeding animal species for domestication is a reduction in relative brain size. When domesticated animals escape from captivity and establish feral populations, the larger brain of the wild phenotype is usually not regained.

Smell of green leaf volatiles attracts white storks to freshly cut meadows
Scientific Reports, 2021 Finding food is perhaps the most important task for all animals. Birds often show up unexpectedly at novel food sources such as freshly tilled fields or mown meadows.

MoveApps: a serverless no-code analysis platform for animal tracking data
Movement Ecology, 2022 Background Bio-logging and animal tracking datasets continuously grow in volume and complexity, documenting animal behaviour and ecology in unprecedented extent and detail, but greatly increasing the challenge of extracting knowledge from the data ...

Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Seasonal changes in the environment can lead to astonishing adaptations. A few small mammals with exceptionally high metabolisms have evolved a particularly extreme strategy: they shrink before winter and regrow in spring, including changes of greater ...

Movement Ecology, 2022 Background Although some migratory birds may take different routes during their outbound and inbound migration, the factors causing these differential migrations to and from the breeding grounds, have rarely been investigated.

Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Migration is a complex behaviour that is costly in terms of time, energy and risk of mortality. Thermal soaring birds rely on airflow, specifically wind support and uplift, to offset their energetic costs of flight. Their migratory routes are a record of
