Taxonomic diversity in the biology of migration

The objective of this partial series of the Canadian Journal of Zoology was to highlight taxonomic diversity in migration by featuring reviews of the current state of migration research in a range of taxa (freshwater fishes, mammals, and amphibians). This series provides an opportunity to compare and contrast the biology of migration among multiple taxa. The reviews include discussions of migration at both the individual and population levels, focusing on a range of topics including the evolution of migration, behavioural and physiological adaptations for migration, consequences of migration, and methods for modelling animal movement.
