Most processes within organisms, and most interactions between organisms and their
environment, have distinct time profiles. The temporal coordination of such processes is …

Endogenous programs that regulate annual cycles have been shown for many taxa,
including protists, arthropods, fish, mammals and birds. In migration biology, these programs …

Migratory birds generally use one or more stopover sites for rest and/or refuelling during
long-distance migration where a large abundance of diverse species can concentrate into …

Recent advances in spring arrival dates have been reported in many migratory species but
the mechanism driving these advances is unknown. As population declines are most widely …

Abstract Changes in phenology and distribution are being widely reported for many
migratory species in response to shifting environmental conditions. Understanding these …

Migratory birds regularly perform impressive long-distance flights, which are timed relative to
the anticipated environmental resources at destination areas that can be several thousand …

In migratory birds, early arrival on breeding sites is typically associated with greater
breeding success, but the mechanisms driving these benefits are rarely known. One …

Technological innovations have led to exciting fast-moving developments in science. Today,
we are living in a technology-driven era of biological discovery. Consequently, tracking …

Globally, bird migration is occurring earlier in the year, consistent with climate-related
changes in breeding resources. Although often attributed to phenotypic plasticity, there is no …

Predicting the range of variation over which organisms can adjust to environmental change
is a major challenge in ecology,. This is exemplified in migratory birds which experience …
