Evolution of long distance migration in birds
Many animals make seasonal migrations, but bird migration remains one of the most spectacular in the animal kingdom and it is mainly because it fascinates humans that this migration has been the most studied historically. However, despite this early interest of the scientific community, important is...

Many animals make seasonal migrations, but bird migration remains one of the most spectacular in the animal kingdom and it is mainly because it fascinates humans that this migration has been the most studied historically. However, despite this early interest of the scientific community, important issues have remained unresolved. Among these, the biogeographical scenarios that shape the distribution of migratory species or that have led species or entire lineages to evolve towards long-distance migration behaviour are still poorly understood.The aim of my thesis was to address these questions at different taxonomic levels, in order to study the ecological and evolutionary implications of long-distance migration in birds. More precisely, (1) I first focused on biogeographic theories of migration evolution at a global scale, coupled with the study of the tracking of ecological niches during the annual cycle.
