Population fitness has a concave relationship with migration distance in Sanderlings

Abstract: In Focus: Reneerkens, J., Versluijs, T. S. L., Piersma, T., Alves, J. A., Boorman, M., Corse, C., … Lok, T. (2020). Low fitness at low latitudes: wintering in the tropics increases migratory delays and mortality rates in an Arctic breeding shorebird. Journal of Animal Ecology, 89, 691–703. A central question in migratory ecology has been to understand the fitness consequences of individual variation in migration distance among different species and populations. Reneerkens et al. (2020) investigated the demogra… Show more

“…We also found one SY female that conducted an incomplete migration, which, to our knowledge, is the first documented occurrence of this for shorebirds. Migratory distance has been found to affect migration tactics in Calidrine sandpipers (Sandercock, 2020), and we expected western breeders would have shorter durations. We did find they arrived and departed at earlier dates than central and eastern breeders, but this pattern was not statistically significant (Nilsson et al, 2013;Piersma, 2007).…”

“…Younger birds in their first pre‐breeding migration often migrate more slowly than adults, choose suboptimal stopover habitat and may even fail to complete migrations, presumably due to the lack of knowledge in the migratory routes (Gratto, 1988; Hockey et al, 1998). Additionally, distance to the breeding location can also affect timing during northbound migration, particularly if differences exist among breeding habitat location and quality (Gunnarsson et al, 2006; Sandercock, 2020).…”

“…Variation in demographic parameters, which is frequently age specific, guides the management of wildlife populations (Sandercock 2006). Among demographic parameters, survival is often thought to have the greatest impact on population dynamics, especially among long-lived species (Doherty et al 2004; Schorcht et al 2009; Sandercock 2020). However, in wild populations, separating survival from dispersal is challenging because it is often impossible to distinguish between the death and emigration of an animal.…”
