Differential Migration Revisited

Latitudinal Segregation by Age and Sex Class

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Current Ornithology ((CUOR,volume 15))

Abstract

The annual migrations of birds are impressive phenomena that raise interesting physiological, evolutionary, and ecological questions. One facet of migration that has long intrigued biologists is the occurrence of differential migration, in which distance traveled differs between portions of a population. For example, in the eastern United States female Dark-eyed Juncos (Junco hyemalis) migrate farther into the winter range than males (Ketterson and Nolan, 1976), and among Snow Geese (Anser caerulescens) blue-morph and white-morph individuals separate longitudinally during migration (Cooke et al., 1975). (All common and scientific names follow Sibley and Monroe, 1990, and can be found in Tables I–III unless given in the text).
