Collective animal migration [PDF]
Current Biology, 2018 Migratory movement is a strategy employed by a broad range of taxa as a response to temporally and spatially varying environmental conditions. Multiple factors can drive animal migration, including movement to hospitable environments when local conditions become unfavourable (such as to reduce nutritional and thermoregulatory stress), movement to find ...

The Migration of Insect Vectors of Plant and Animal Viruses
, 2006 Publisher Summary This chapter summarizes the conceptual framework that distinguishes migration from other types of movement, and briefly outlines some of the methodologies used to study long-range migration of insect vectors. Several case studies of vector migration, particularly ones illustrating recent progress have been presented.

Mechanistic models of animal migration behaviour--their diversity, structure and use. [PDF]
J Anim Ecol, 2013 Summary Migration is a widespread phenomenon in the animal kingdom, including many taxonomic groups and modes of locomotion. Developing an understanding of the proximate and ultimate causes for this behaviour not only addresses fundamental ecological ...

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

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Global climate change affects many aspects of biology and has been shown to cause body size changes in animals. However, suitable datasets allowing the analysis of long‐term relationships between body size, climate, and its effects are rare.

Health monitoring in birds using bio-loggers and whole blood transcriptomics
Scientific Reports, 2021 Monitoring and early detection of emerging infectious diseases in wild animals is of crucial global importance, yet reliable ways to measure immune status and responses are lacking for animals in the wild. Here we assess the usefulness of bio-loggers for

Arctic Migratory Raptor Selects Nesting Area During the Previous Breeding Season
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Migratory species have a limited time for habitat selection upon arrival at the breeding grounds. This is especially evident in arctic migrants, which are restricted by a narrow window of opportunity when environmental conditions are favorable for ...

Effect of harness design for tag attachment on the flight performance of five soaring species
Movement Ecology, 2023 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 that attaching devices can have on animals, particularly on their behaviour ...

Classifying biogeographic realms of the endemic fauna in the Afro‐Arabian region
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Aim Understanding diversity patterns and identifying the environmental factors that shape these patterns are essential for ecology and conservation. The Afro‐Arabian region comprises one of the most important biogeographic areas connecting continents ...

On the mechanical interplay between intra- and inter-synchronization during collective cell migration : a numerical investigation [PDF]
, 2013 Collective cell migration is a fundamental process that takes place during several biological phenomena such as embryogenesis, immunity response, and tumorogenesis, but the mechanisms that regulate it are still unclear.
