Partial migration occurs when only a fraction of a population migrates instead of all
individuals. Considered an evolutionary precursor to full migration, understanding why some …

Although there is a consensus about the evolutionary drivers of animal migration,
considerable work is necessary to identify the mechanisms that underlie the great variety of …

Partial migration has never been studied in pelagic seabirds, but investigating old
unresolved questions in new contexts can provide useful fresh insights. We used …

Partial migration, where a portion of the population migrates between winter and summer
(breeding) areas and the rest remain year‐round resident, is a common phenomenon …

Migratory behavior can differ markedly amongst individuals within populations or species.
Understanding the factors influencing this variation is key to understanding how current …

Partial migration is thought to be a critical step in the evolution of avian migration, but data
on the life history correlates of alternative migratory strategies are extremely limited. We …

Animals can be flexible in their migration strategies, using several wintering sites or a variety
of routes. The mechanisms promoting the development of these migratory patterns and their …

Migratory birds often have tightly scheduled annual cycles, in which a delay in one event
can have carry-over effects on the timing of later events, which may ultimately impact …

As environmental conditions fluctuate across years, seasonal migrants must determine
where and when to move without comprehensive knowledge of conditions beyond their …

Migratory animals show great diversity of movement within populations, but the causes and
consequences of this variability are poorly understood. Tracking a migratory seabird across …
