Integrating concepts and technologies to advance the study of bird migration

Abstract: Recent technological innovation has opened new avenues in migration research – for instance, by allowing individual migratory animals to be followed over great distances and long periods of time, as well as by recording physiological information. Here, we focus on how technology – specifically applied to bird migration – has advanced our knowledge of migratory connectivity, and the behavior, demography, ecology, and physiology of migrants. Anticipating the invention of new and smaller tracking devices, in addi… Show more

“…Their small size has long prevented the study of the largest part of their lives, outside the breeding grounds [3,4]. Traditional ring-recovery data, stable isotope analyses and the use of genetic markers have generated much progress in recent years [5,6].…”

“…Recent advances in biologging and transmitter technology (reviewed in references [8,9]) have enabled unprecedented long and detailed tracking of increasingly smaller species of animals, and also, in some cases, the simultaneous recording of key behaviours. These developments have provided important insights for different movement phenomena, including long-distance migration, foraging and homing behaviour [10,11].…”

“…Of the five possible inheritance pathways of information transfer between generations, two (developmental inheritance and behavioural inheritance) would be especially relevant for the fast evolutionary change of flyways and annual schedules. Developed from Lamb (2005, 2007) ), and by the possibility to examine survival and dispersal using an amazing array of remote sensing and tracking tools (Robinson et al 2010). Even for small organisms that travel the world, such as Red Knots, the tools are now available to track their survival and movements across the globe with considerable spatial and temporal precision.…”
