Animals move around the globe in billions, some like the snow bunting covering huge distances and enduring the most extreme frigid weather conditions. In an article published in Animal Migration, scientists try to determine how snow bunting populations are linked in space and time.

The paper, published in Proceedings of The Royal Society B, looks at the effects of newborn nutrition on male plumage in the rare New Zealand hihi (Notiomystis concta) over the course of a year.
