Bird migration is one of the most amazing biological phenomena exhibited by organisms today, with birds as small as three grams travelling thousands of kilometers twice each year. Most people are familiar with this behaviour; they likely recognize the seasonal movements of birds each year and may have even witnessed specific migratory events (e.g., geese flying in their characteristic V-formations). What many people may not know is that bird migration has a strong genetic basis, especially in groups like songbirds who migrate alone and at night, preventing juveniles from following more experienced adult birds on their first migration. Successful migration also requires the coordinated function of many traits, not only behavioural traits like timing and orientation but also morphological and physiological traits to permit these long distance treks. Together, these traits comprise what has been called the ‘migratory syndrome'. In this primer, we provide a broad overview of research on the genetics of migratory traits, from early experimental work to future functional assays and their importance for bird conservation. We focus primarily on songbirds as most work on the genetics of migration has been conducted with this group.
