Quantifying the drivers of animal migration

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Migration is a complex behaviour that evolved independently and repeatedly across the animal kingdom and is vitally important in shaping population dynamics and ecosystem processes. However, migration events have started to disappear primarily due to climate change and other anthropogenic factors. This has led to an urgency to understand the internal drivers of migration, with an emphasis on genomic architecture and physiological mechanisms. The goal of such assessments is to evaluate whether populations can cope with anthropogenic and environmental changes to their migratory routes.
