Aspects of the Molt Migrationolting area usually differed from — and might even be opposite to — that to the wintering grounds; (2) all age and sex classes might not participate, (3) molting sites were highly localized; and (4) the numbers and densities of birds involved were often higher than at any other time.

Fat Storage and Fat Metabolism in Relation to Migration Vol.). Recently, Wingfield et al. (this Vol.) proposed a scheme for classifying environmental and endogenous factors that regulate migratory phenomenon. Specifically, vernal (spring) fattening is triggered by initial predictive factors that include an increase in photoperiod and endogenous programs

Endocrine Mechanisms of Migrationstates have common requirements, e.g., for hyperphagia, fat deposition (as fuel for long flights), and migratory flight itself. Thus, it is likely that some of the regulatory mechanisms of migration will be similar in spring and autumn and others different.

Introduction leave their breeding grounds every autumn to migrate to areas with seasonally more favorable conditions. Many of these migrants travel only over a few hundred kilometers but others cover distances equivalent to the circumference of the earth. Among these long-distance migrants are several billion b

Bird Migration in the Arctic: A Reviewom October through May, 24 h of daylight and a superabundance of food during the brief summer provides favorable breeding conditions for millions of birds. About 135 species of birds migrate there to nest. Some make the longest migrations known to science. The Arctic tern (. is the classic example;

This contrasts with the situation in Southeast Asia and Central America, where migrants from the East Palaearctic and Nearctic respectively find more humid environments. In Africa, therefore, migrants t
