Individuality in bird migration: routes and timing.
The exploration of animal migration has entered a new era with individual-based tracking during multiple years. Here, we investigated repeated migratory journeys of a long-distance migrating bird, the marsh harrier Circus aeruginosus, in order to analyse the variation within and between individuals with respect to routes and timing. We found that there was a stronger individual repeatability in...
متن کاملRepeatability of individual migration routes, wintering sites, and timing in a long‐distance migrant bird
Migratory birds are often faithful to wintering (nonbreeding) sites, and also migration timing is usually remarkably consistent, that is, highly repeatable. Spatiotemporal repeatability can be of advantage for multiple reasons, including familiarity with local resources and predators as well as avoiding the costs of finding a new place, for example, nesting grounds. However, when the environmen...
متن کاملMigratory connectivity and population-specific migration routes in a long-distance migratory bird.
Knowledge about migratory connectivity, the degree to which individuals from the same breeding site migrate to the same wintering site, is essential to understand processes affecting populations of migrants throughout the annual cycle. Here, we study the migration system of a long-distance migratory bird, the Montagu's harrier Circus pygargus, by tracking individuals from different breeding pop...
متن کاملDiscovery of Migration Habitats and Routes of Wild Bird Species by Clustering and Association Analysis
Knowledge about the wetland use of migratory bird species during the annual life circle is very interesting to biologists, as it is critically important for conservation site construction and avian influenza control. The raw data of the habitat areas and the migration routes can be determined by high-tech GPS satellite telemetry, that usually are large scale with high complexity. In this paper,...
متن کاملBird Migration Routes and Risk for Pathogen Dispersion into Western Mediterranean Wetlands
Wild birds share with humans the capacity for moving fast over large distances. During migratory movements, birds carry pathogens that can be transmitted between species at breeding, wintering, and stopover places where numerous birds of various species are concentrated. We consider the area of the Camargue (southern France) as an example to highlight how ad hoc information already available on...
