Background Given that winds encountered on migration could theoretically double or half
the energy expenditure of aerial migrants, there should be strong selection on behaviour in …

Animal migration is a global phenomenon, but few studies have examined the substantial
within‐and between‐species variation in migration distances. We built a global database of …

Despite its importance for ecosystem and human health, the cleaning service provided by
scavenging birds is frequently disregarded. We evaluated this ecosystem service provided …

Disentangling individual-and population-level variation in migratory movements is
necessary for understanding migration at the species level. However, very few studies have …

Many migratory bird species are declining, and the migratory period may limit populations
because of the risk in traversing large geographical features during passage. Using …

Telemetry-based movement research has become central for learning about the behavior,
ecology and conservation of wide-ranging species. Particularly, early telemetry studies were …

Understanding the movement of threatened species is important if we are to optimize
management and conservation actions. Here, we describe the age and sex specific spatial …

Climate change is predicted to severely impact interactions between prey, predators and
habitats. In Southern Europe, within the Mediterranean climate, herbaceous vegetation …

Knowledge of black vulture (Coragyps atratus) and turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) spatial
ecology is surprisingly limited despite their vital ecological roles. Fine-scale assessments of …

The deployment of electronic devices on animals is rapidly expanding and producing
leapfrog advances in ecological knowledge. Even though their effects on the ecology and …
