Carryover effects of long-distance avian migration are weaker than effects of breeding environment in a partially migratory bird

Abstract Migration may expose individuals to a wide range of increasing anthropogenic threats. In addition to direct mortality effects, this exposure may influence post-migratory reproductive fitness. Partial migration—where a population comprises migrants and residents—represents a powerful opportu...
