Aims & Scope

Animal Migration was an open-access journal that published cutting-edge research on the biology of migratory species. We strived to present a forum where all aspects of migratory biology can be discussed, from genetics and physiology to ecosystem-level interactions between migrants and their environment and everything in between.
