Global movement patterns of migratory birds illustrate their fascinating physical and
physiological abilities to cross continents and oceans. During their voyages, most birds land …

The research progress of swarm robotics is reviewed in details. The swarm robotics inspired
from nature is a combination of swarm intelligence and robotics, which shows a great …

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 …

Using optimality perspectives is now regarded as an essential way of analysing and
understanding adaptations and behavioural strategies in bird migration. Optimization …

Successful bird migration can depend on individual learning, social learning, and innate
navigation programs. Using 8 years of data on migrating whooping cranes, we were able to …

Migration is a task that implies a route, a goal and a period of time. To achieve this task, it
requires orientation abilities to find the goal and energy to cover the distance. Completing …

The extraordinary adaptations of birds to contend with atmospheric conditions during their
migratory flights have captivated ecologists for decades. During the 21st century …

Approximately two thirds of migratory songbirds in eastern North America negotiate the Gulf
of Mexico (GOM), where inclement weather coupled with no refueling or resting …

Estimating how much long‐distance migrant populations spread out and mix during the non‐
breeding season (migratory connectivity) is essential for understanding and predicting …

For organisms that fly or swim, movement results from the combined effects of the moving
medium—air or water—and the organism's own locomotion. For larger organisms …
