The study of long-distance migration provides insights into the habits and performance of
organisms at the limit of their physical abilities. The Arctic tern Sterna paradisaea is the …

Air-breathing marine animals, including sea turtles, utilise two fundamentally different
environments (ie sea surface and underwater) during migration. Many satellite telemetry …

Summary 'True navigation'indicates that animals can move toward a destination without
using familiar landmarks. Migratory birds apparently achieve this by extrapolating their …

A reader of almost any more or less recent review on avian orientation (Wiltschko and
Wiltschko 1999b, Muheim et al. 2006a, Fraser 2010) is most likely to learn that migrating …

The exploration of animal migration has entered a new era with individual-based tracking
during multiple years. Here, we investigated repeated migratory journeys of a long-distance …

Navigational control of avian migration is understood, largely from the study of terrestrial
birds, to depend on either genetically or culturally inherited information. By tracking the …

Vector navigation, ie, maintaining a constant heading for a given amount of time, is
hypothesized to provide a viable basis for the navigational feats of a number of long …

Although oceanic dispersal in larval and juvenile marine animals is widely studied, the
relative contributions of swimming behavior and ocean currents to movements and …

To compensate for drift, an animal migrating through air or sea must be able to navigate.
Although some species of bird, fish, insect, mammal, and reptile are capable of drift …

Studying the causes and consequences of route selection in animal migration is important
for understanding the evolution of migratory systems and how they may be affected by …
