Large-scale disruptions to animal migration
This project will use state-of-the-art monitoring and experiments to investigate how animal migration is controlled, how animals use cues, and factors that govern migratory behaviour. I will do this by taking the novel approach of focusing on three large-scale disruptors that migrants can encounter on their journeys; artificial light, magnetic storms and extreme temperatures, and use the effect of these disruptors on both the individual and system level to discover how sensitive migratory behaviours are to disturbances. I will use a unique combination of multiscale radar monitoring, individual tracking and experiments to investigate how these disruptors affect different parts of the…
