Costs, benefits, and fitness consequences of different migratory strategies

Abstract: Abstract. The relative fitness of individuals across a population can shape distributions and drive population growth rates. Migratory species often winter over large geographic ranges, and individuals in different locations experience very different environmental conditions, including different migration costs, which can potentially create fitness inequalities. Here we used energetics models to quantify the trade-offs experienced by a migratory shorebird species at locations throughout the nonbreeding range, … Show more

“…While occupancy of different kinds of non-breeding habitat has measurable effects on body condition and population growth rate in migratory birds (Marra & Holmes, 2001;Norris et al, 2004;Norris, 2005;Alves et al, 2013), it remains unknown whether pulses in habitat availability translate into population level effects that when absent or changed result in declining populations. Improving understandings of how migratory populations respond to pulses in resource availability will allow determination of how variation in the magnitude, duration and frequency of fluctuations in resource availability affect animal population sizes.…”

“…Evidence is mounting that both recruitment and mortality can be impacted by conditions at non-breeding areas for long-distance migrants (Alves et al 2013;Marra and Holmes 2001;Norris et al 2004). For example, in migratory American Redstarts, reproductive success in North America was related to the condition of non-breeding habitat in South America (Norris et al 2004).…”
