Key questions in marine megafauna movement ecology
It is a golden age for animal movement studies and so an opportune time to assess priorities
for future work. We assembled 40 experts to identify key questions in this field, focussing on …

Long‐range seasonal migration in insects: mechanisms, evolutionary drivers and ecological consequences
Myriad tiny insect species take to the air to engage in windborne migration, but entomology
also has its 'charismatic megafauna'of butterflies, large moths, dragonflies and locusts. The …

Efficient collective swimming by harnessing vortices through deep reinforcement learning
Fish in schooling formations navigate complex flow fields replete with mechanical energy in
the vortex wakes of their companions. Their schooling behavior has been associated with …

Mass seasonal bioflows of high-flying insect migrants
Migrating animals have an impact on ecosystems directly via influxes of predators, prey, and
competitors and indirectly by vectoring nutrients, energy, and pathogens. Although linkages …

Behavior of bats at wind turbines
PM Cryan, PM Gorresen, CD Hein… - Proceedings of the …, 2014 - National Acad Sciences
Wind turbines are causing unprecedented numbers of bat fatalities. Many fatalities involve
tree-roosting bats, but reasons for this higher susceptibility remain unknown. To better …

Social learning of migratory performance
Successful bird migration can depend on individual learning, social learning, and innate
navigation programs. Using 8 years of data on migrating whooping cranes, we were able to …
