To understand the ecology of migratory animals it is important to link geographic regions
used by individuals including breeding, wintering, and intermediate stopover sites. Previous …

Our understanding of migratory birds' year‐round ecology and evolution remains patchy
despite recent fundamental advances. Periodic reviews focus future research and inform …

Four of the world's leading ornithologists and ardent conservationists have produced this
unique synthesis of the ecological information on all 4,037 species of birds found from …

Global climate change is expected to affect temperature and precipitation patterns, oceanic
and atmospheric circulation, rate of rising sea level, and the frequency, intensity, timing, and …

Threats to migratory animals can occur at multiple periods of the annual cycle that are
separated by thousands of kilometres and span international borders. Populations of the …

Halting the global decline of migratory birds requires a better understanding of migration
ecology. Stopover sites are a crucial yet understudied aspect of bird conservation, mostly …

Shorebirds are declining to a greater extent than many other avian taxa around the world. In
North America, shorebirds, along with aerial insectivores and grassland birds, have some of …

Sea-level rise (SLR) will greatly alter littoral ecosystems, causing habitat change and loss for
coastal species. Habitat loss is widely used as a measurement of the risk of extinction, but …

Recent studies have shown that stable hydrogen isotope ratios (δD) in the tissues of animals
often correlate with δD of local precipitation. Here we examined the relationship between δD …

Shorebirds are the most visible inhabitants of coastal wetlands worldwide. Many undertake
spectacularly long flights between their wintering and breeding grounds, embodying the …
