| description | Migration is a dramatic behaviour distinct from other movements. It is an important component of life histories of biodiverse organisms including terrestrial and marine vertebrates, insects, many invertebrates, and the propagules of some plants. This sequel discusses migration across a wide range of groups and species drawing comparisons to illuminate migratory life cycles and their evolution. It takes an integrative approach to migration as a physiological and behavioural phenomenon with important ecological consequences. Part I defines migration in relation to other movements, provides examples, and includes an updated chapter on recent results from newly developed electronic tracking and other methods. Part II surveys proximate mechanisms including physiology, morphology, constraints, the use of winds and currents, and new discoveries regarding the ability to orient and navigate. Part III on the evolution of migratory life histories is the longest section of the book. It addresses adaptations of migration to various habitats, the genetics and evolution of migration syndromes and variability, and the role of migrants in ecological communities. Part IV is a brief discussion of applied aspects of migration including disease transmission, pest management, and conservation. This book concentrates on the literature since 1996 and updates a vital subject. It provides comprehensive information to students and researchers in animal behaviour, ecology, and conservation biology across organisms from aphids and butterflies to birds and whales. |
