由于人类结构和活动的迅速和大规模扩张、栖息地改变和气候变化，许多迁徙物种经历了大幅下降。移民也被认为是生物多样性的组成部分，并提供与人类农业、经济和健康有关的多种服务和伤害。最近发表的过多研究反映出需要更好地了解移徙的基本知识，并需要更好地管理其生态和与人类有关的影响。然而，在为基本问题和社会挑战提供答案方面，我们处于什么位置？我们利用世界各地广泛的研究人员网络，使用水平扫描方法来确定需要克服的最重要的挑战，以便更充分地了解迁徙生态学，这些挑战可以使用雷达空气生态和宏观生态方法来解决。最大的挑战既包括长期存在的和新的主题，从关于移民路线和物候、定位和航行战略的基本信息，以及移民可能对居民社区产生的多种影响，到社会挑战，如保护或预防移民服务和伤害服务，以及面对环境变化保护移民。我们概述了这些挑战，确定了解决这些挑战的紧迫性，以及主要利益攸关方--研究人员、政策制定者和实践者，或研究的资助者。
Many migratory species have experienced substantial declines that resulted from rapid and massive expansions of human structures and activities, habitat alterations and climate change. Migrants are also recognized as an integral component of biodiversity and provide a multitude of services and disservices that are relevant to human agriculture, economy and health. The plethora of recently published studies reflects the need for better fundamental knowledge on migrations and for better management of their ecological and human-relevant effects. Yet, where are we in providing answers to fundamental questions and societal challenges? Engaging a broad network of researchers worldwide, we used a horizon-scan approach to identify the most important challenges which need to be overcome in order to gain a fuller understanding of migration ecology, and which could be addressed using radar aeroecological and macroecological approaches. The top challenges include both long-standing and novel topics, ranging from fundamental information on migration routes and phenology, orientation and navigation strategies, and the multitude of effects migrants may have on resident communities, to societal challenges, such as protecting or preventing migrant services and disservices, and the conservation of migrants in the face of environmental changes. We outline these challenges, identify the urgency of addressing them and the primary stakeholders - researchers, policy makers and practitioners, or funders of research.
