Abstract
This study quantifies the breeding and wintering ranges, habitat occupancy, diet and foraging mode of each migrant taxon on each of the three flyways. It aims to compare how patterns of migration between the temperate and tropical latitudes vary spatially in response to a) the geography of the land masses, b) relative availability of different habitat types, c) dietary preferences and d) foraging mode.
