Animal movement comes in a variety of 'types' including small foraging movements, larger
one-way dispersive movements, seasonally-predictable round-trip migratory movements …

Connectivity is classically considered an emergent property of landscapes encapsulating
individuals' flows across space. However, its operational use requires a precise …

Now that so many ecosystems face rapid and major environmental change, the ability of
species to respond to these changes by dispersing or moving between different patches of …

Many important questions in ecology and evolutionary biology can only be answered with
data that extend over several decades and answering a substantial proportion of questions …

Partial migration, where populations of animals are composed of a mixture of resident and
migratory individuals, is a widespread phenomenon in nature. It has been reported to occur …

There is accumulating evidence that individuals leave their natal area and select a breeding
habitat non‐randomly by relying upon information about their natal and future breeding …

The forage-maturation hypothesis (FMH) states that herbivores migrate along a
phenological gradient of plant development in order to maximize energy intake. Despite …

Dispersal is a process of central importance for the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of
populations and communities, because of its diverse consequences for gene flow and …

Density-dependent selection, which promotes contrasting patterns of trait means at different
population densities, has a long history in population genetics and ecology. The unifying …

This paper advances an hypothesis that the primary adaptive driver of seasonal migration is
maintenance of site fidelity to familiar breeding locations. We argue that seasonal migration …
