Abstract Background Migratory birds possess remarkable navigational adaptations. Vagrants, few individuals who migrate to incorrect locations, offer a unique opportunity study how navigation is accomplished. Vagrancy may occur due external factors forcing off course, such as strong wings, or errors. Natural disruptions in the Earth’s magnetic field cause errors interfering with bird magnetoreception. Failures of other tools like visual landmark recognition and social route learning also contribute vagrancy, but these are difficult quantify. Methods I used eBird, community science dataset comprising millions observations, relative likelihood offshore vagrancy under different including weather, geomagnetic disturbance, solar activity using mixed effects logistic regression. Then, studied variation species propensity be driven by morphology migration distance multiple linear regression, inheritances alleles phylogenetic analysis.

Conclusions External primarily senses, rather physically Species migrations have time encounter causing events, shape allow reorient efficiently.

Rare birds known as "accidentals" or "vagrants" have long captivated birdwatchers and puzzled biologists, but the drivers of these rare occurrences remain elusive. Errors in orientation navigation are considered one potential driver: migratory use Earth's magnetic field-sensed using specialized magnetoreceptor structures-to traverse distances over often unfamiliar terrain. Disruption to magnetoreceptors field itself could potentially cause errors leading vagrancy. Using data from 2 million captures 152 landbird species North America 60 years, we demonstrate a strong association between disruption avian vagrancy during fall migration. Furthermore, find that increased solar activity-a disruptor magnetoreceptor-generally counteracts this effect, mitigating misorientation by disabling ability for orient. Our results link hypothesized phenomenon vagrancy, further demonstrating importance magnetoreception among mechanisms birds. Geomagnetic disturbance may important downstream ecological consequences, vagrants experience mortality rates facilitate range expansions populations organisms they disperse.

Abstract Why and how new migration routes emerge remain fundamental questions in ecology, particularly the context of current global changes. In its early stages, when few individuals are involved, evolution can be easily confused with vagrancy, i.e. occurrence outside their regular breeding, non-breeding or migratory distribution ranges. Yet, vagrancy theory generate if vagrants survive, return to breeding grounds transfer route offspring, thus increasing a phenotype population. Here, we review conceptual framework empirical challenges distinguishing from small obligate passerines explain this inform our understanding evolution. For purpose, use Yellow-browed Warbler ( Phylloscopus inornatus ) as case study. This Siberian species normally winters southern Asia recent increase Western Europe has become prominent evolutionary puzzle. We first discuss available evidence suggesting that is still mostly vagrant but might establishing initiated by vagrants. then list possible approaches check some really undertake movements between Siberia, which would make an ideal model for studying links emergence routes.

During austral winter individuals migrate to non-breeding areas South There had been only three known locations for species Brazil, two Amazon Forest and one Atlantic Forest. Here, we aim present new records Brazil organize available literature recovering historical data. are Southeast regions thus represent first documented outside Brazilian Amazon. These findings indicate an expansion considered nomadic species.

ABSTRACT Although decades of research have deepened our understanding the proximate triggers and ultimate drivers migrations for a range taxa, how populations establish remains mystery. However, recent studies begun to illuminate interplay between genetically inherited learned migrations, opening door evaluation migration may be learned, established, maintained. Nevertheless, migratory species where role learning is evident, we lack comprehensive framework learn specific routes refine movements over time (i.e., their origins). This review draws on advances in behavioural movement ecology offer could transition from resident by connecting cognitive fine‐scale perceptual cues decisions with literature cultural transmission, emergent pattern migration. We synthesize multiple mechanisms processes that allow population respond seasonal resource limitation, then encode spatial environmental information about availability memory engage social navigate landscapes track resources better. A rise global reintroduction efforts, along human‐induced rapid shifts changing make evaluating origins this threatened behaviour more urgent than ever.

ABSTRACT Over the course of last two centuries, Northern Rough‐winged Swallows ( Stelgidopteryx serripennis ) have expanded their range across North American continent but remained a relatively poorly known species. In this paper, I discuss aspects nature history that has received little attention. First, document an instance digging own burrow, which was for better part century considered behavior either lost or never occurred in first place. Second, review natural literature to qualitative patterns evident expansion over centuries. doing so, define three potentially useful concepts can he applied understand species' shifts: Expansion Chronology , is spatiotemporal map shift; concept Vagrancy‐induced Range where species undergoes repeated movements outside typical geographic (defined as vagrancy events), leading regular occurrence new region (e.g., overwintering nonbreeding occurrences); and Long‐distance Dispersal, specifically breeding following events.
