TL;DR: The consequences of the presence and magnitude of different costs during different phases of the dispersal process, and their internal organisation through covariation with other life‐history traits are synthesised with respect to potential consequences for species conservation and the need for development of a new generation of spatial simulation models.

TL;DR: It is made the case that dispersal causes an increase in spatial variability in the sex ratio which can reduce the local availability of mates, and thus feed back to inflence the evolution of sex-specifi c dispersal and lead to more, rather than less, similar dispersal behavior in the sexes.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used light level geolocators to map the migration routes and determine annual schedules for birds breeding in Switzerland and Austria, using light level geo-locators.

TL;DR: In this paper , the flight behavior of pallid swifts Apus pallidus, a small aerial insectivore, was investigated in relation to non-breeding season atmospheric conditions using state-of-the-art GPS logged data.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated whether two colonial species, the Common Swift Apus apus and the Pallid Swift apus pallidus, are experiencing gene flow by genotyping individuals that breed in sympatry in the town of Bastia (Corsica, France).
