Spatial memory shapes migration and its benefits: evidence from a large herbivore
From fine‐scale foraging to broad‐scale migration, animal movement is shaped by the
distribution of resources. There is mounting evidence, however, that learning and memory …

Migratory plasticity is not ubiquitous among large herbivores
The migratory movements of wild animals can promote abundance and support ecosystem
functioning. For large herbivores, mounting evidence suggests that migratory behaviour is …

Stopover ecology of a migratory ungulate
H Sawyer, MJ Kauffman - Journal of Animal Ecology, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Birds that migrate long distances use stopover sites to optimize fuel loads and complete
migration as quickly as possible. Stopover use has been predicted to facilitate a time …

Memory, not just perception, plays an important role in terrestrial mammalian migration
One of the key questions regarding the underlying mechanisms of mammalian land
migrations is how animals select where to go. Most studies assume perception of resources …

The extra mile: Ungulate migration distance alters the use of seasonal range and exposure to anthropogenic risk
Partial migration occurs across a variety of taxa and has important ecological and
evolutionary consequences. Among ungulates, studies of partially migratory populations …

Migration or residency? The evolution of movement behavior and information usage in seasonal environments
Migration, the seasonal movement of individuals among different locations, is a behavior
found throughout the animal kingdom. Although migration is widely studied at taxonomically …

Explaining movement decisions of forest rodents in fragmented landscapes
CE Rizkalla, RK Swihart - Biological Conservation, 2007 - Elsevier
Functional connectivity is a measure of the interaction of landscape structure and a species'
dispersal ability to determine the degree to which a landscape facilitates movement among …

Causes, consequences, and conservation of ungulate migration
Our understanding of ungulate migration is advancing rapidly due to innovations in modern
animal tracking. Herein, we review and synthesize nearly seven decades of work on …

Tracking snowmelt to jump the green wave: phenological drivers of migration in a northern ungulate
In northern climates, spring is a time of rapid environmental change: for migrating terrestrial
animals, melting snow facilitates foraging and travel, and newly emergent vegetation …
