Birds harbor complex gut bacterial communities that may sustain their ecologies and
facilitate their biological roles, distribution, and diversity. Research on gut microbiomes in …

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

A common challenge in species conservation and management is how to incorporate
species movements into management objectives. There often is a lack of knowledge of …

individuals range from regular and predictable migrations to erratic, resource‐driven …

Migration, broadly defined as directional movement to take advantage of spatially distributed
resources, is a dramatic behaviour and an important component of many life histories that …

Animal migrations are often spectacular, and migratory species harbor zoonotic pathogens
of importance to humans. Animal migrations are expected to enhance the global spread of …

The term 'carryover effect'originally arose from repeated measures clinical experiments.
However, the term has more recently been applied to ecological and evolutionary studies …

In 2007, the first miniature light-level geolocators were deployed on small landbirds,
revolutionizing the study of migration. In this paper, we review studies that have used …
