Contents:

Migration and methods for its study -- Proximate factors in migration -- Migratory life histories and their evolution -- Applications and implications.

Summary: Migration is one of the most fascinating and dramatic of all animal behaviours. Historically, study of migration has been fragmented, with ornithologists, entomologists, and marine biologists working only within their own field. This critical synthetic treatment of the subject shows how comparisons across taxa can illuminate migratory life cycles and the relation of migration to other movements. The book takes an integrated ecological perspective to focus on migration as a biological phenomenon.
