Stutchbury, Bridget J.M., Siddiqui, Raafia, Fraser, Kevin C., Applegate, Kelly, Hvenegaard, Glen T., Mammenga, Paul, Mickle, Nannette, Pearman, Myrna, Ray, James D., Savage, Anne, Shaheen, Tim, Zuk, Marlene
New discoveries from direct tracking of temperate-breeding passerines show that intra-tropical migration (ITM) is common in a growing number of species which has important implications for understanding their evolution of migration, population dynamics, and conservation needs. Our large sample...

Home range size estimates are often used to assess the amount of space required for animals to perform the activities essential for their survival and reproduction. However, in moving environments, traditional home range estimates may be ill suited to this task. In particular, traditional home...
