The Evolution of Differential Bird Migration

  • Chapter
Current Ornithology

Part of the book series: Current Ornithology ((CUOR,volume 1))

Abstract

The evolution of bird migration and the role of migration in life history have long been matters of general interest, and the volume of recent literature on these subjects (Baker, 1978; Dingle, 1980; Gauthreaux, 1978, 1979, 1982; Fretwell, 1980; Greenberg, 1980; Greenwood, 1980; Myers, 1981a; Ketterson and Nolan, 1982) reflects their continuing importance to students of avian ecology and evolutionary biology.
