Emerging perspectives on resource tracking and animal movement ecology
Resource tracking, where animals increase energy gain by moving to track phenological
variation in resources across space, is emerging as a fundamental attribute of animal …

Memory and resource tracking drive blue whale migrations
In terrestrial systems, the green wave hypothesis posits that migrating animals can enhance
foraging opportunities by tracking phenological variation in high-quality forage across space …

The greenscape shapes surfing of resource waves in a large migratory herbivore
Abstract The Green Wave Hypothesis posits that herbivore migration manifests in response
to waves of spring green‐up (ie green‐wave surfing). Nonetheless, empirical support for the …

Resource waves: phenological diversity enhances foraging opportunities for mobile consumers
Time can be a limiting constraint for consumers, particularly when resource phenology
mediates foraging opportunity. Though a large body of research has explored how resource …

Life‐history diversity and its importance to population stability and persistence of a migratory fish: steelhead in two large N orth A merican watersheds
Life‐history strategies can buffer individuals and populations from environmental variability.
For instance, it is possible that asynchronous dynamics among different life histories can …

Evolutionary origins for ecological patterns in space
Historically, many biologists assumed that evolution and ecology acted independently
because evolution occurred over distances too great to influence most ecological patterns …
