Vagility is defined as the relative capacity for movement. We developed previously a
quantitative metric in vertebrates for physiological vagility (PV), the speed at which an …

Vagility is the inherent power of movement by individuals. Vagility and the available duration
of movement determine the dispersal distance individuals can move to interbreed, which …

Physiological vagility represents the capacity to move sustainably and is central to fully
explaining the processes involved in creating fine-scale genetic structure of amphibian …

Across taxa, individuals vary in how far they disperse, with most individuals staying close to
their origin and fewer dispersing long distances. Costs associated with dispersal (eg …

Climatic and environmental changes are global phenomena, altering every biome, and
affecting nearly every species. At a population level, significant effort has been devoted to …

The past several decades have ushered in a golden age in the study of migration biology,
leading to a wealth of descriptive articles that characterize various aspects of migration and …

Gardner and colleagues [1] recently reviewed the evidence for shifts in body size as a third
major response to climate change, in addition to widely recognized shifts in the ranges and …

Limited dispersal is commonly used to explain differences in diversification rates. An
obvious but unexplored factor affecting dispersal is the mode of locomotion used by animals …

Physiology can underlie movement, including short-term activity, exploration of unfamiliar
environments, and larger scale dispersal, and thereby influence species distributions in an …
