Migratory animals and their mass seasonal movements represent a unique spectacle in nature, connecting continents as well as human societies. However, given the increasing human pressure and climate change impacts, migratory animals are globally declining in numbers and facing diverse threats along their migratory journeys.
The international team of experts, including Vojtěch Kubelka from the department of Zoology and Centre for Polar Ecology at Faculty of Science, University of South Bohemia, has filled an important knowledge gap with a topical review in a prestigious journal Biological Reviews.
The comprehensive article not only highlights the plethora of threats migratory animals are unfortunately facing nowadays but also suggests relevant conservation strategies helping to preserve the spectacle of migration. Authors hope that the review will be a useful tool for scientists, conservationists and policy-makers during the next decades all over the world.
