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 …

Crossing large bodies of water can be extremely risky for terrestrial migrants and yet such
migrants have been observed to cross hundreds and even thousands of kilometres of water …

Many shallow-water organisms are subjected to regular, frequent and considerable changes
in their environment imposed by the tides. Such changes range from complex alterations in …

Aim Our current understanding of migratory strategies and the reasons for their high
variability along the phylogenetic tree remains relatively poor. Most of the hypotheses …

Dispersal and migration are important ecological processes that influence rates of
propagule exchange, colonization, extinction and speciation for a wide array of taxa in …

Experiments with migrating birds displaced during autumn migration outside their normal
migration corridor reveal two different navigational strategies: adult migrants compensate for …

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 …
