The landscape of fear (LOF) concept posits that prey navigate spatial heterogeneity in
perceived predation risk, balancing risk mitigation against other activities necessary for …

Vertical migration is a geographically and taxonomically widespread behaviour among
zooplankton that spans across diel and seasonal timescales. The shorter‐term diel vertical …

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 …

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 …

Every year, many wild animals undertake long-distance migration to breed in the north,
taking advantage of seasonally high pulses in food supply, fewer parasites, and lower …

Abstract The Latitudinal Biotic Interaction Hypothesis (LBIH) states that the intensity of biotic
interactions increases from high to low latitudes. This hypothesis, which may partly explain …

Aim Bird migration poses a challenge to macroecology, because with one in five species
moving twice yearly between breeding and non‐breeding grounds, macroecological …

Migration is a striking behavioral strategy by which many animals enhance resource
acquisition while reducing predation risk. Historically, the demographic benefits of such …

Bergmann's and Allen's rules state that endotherms should be larger and have shorter
appendages in cooler climates. However, the drivers of these rules are not clear. Both rules …

Climate change is taking place more rapidly and severely in the Arctic than anywhere on the
globe, exposing Arctic vertebrates to a host of impacts. Changes in the cryosphere dominate …
