摘　　要：Studying movements is essential for shedding light on a number of issues related to avian biology： behavioral aspects such as foraging, migratory routes and strategies, navigation and orientation mechanisms; ecological aspects such as metapopulation dynamics, insular biogeography, seed dispersal, disease spread; conservation biology such as the effects of habitat fragmentation, identification of key areas deserving protection, effects of climate change. Despite these relevant issues, the topic of ＂Movement ecology＂ on its own has only been highlighted recently （Nathan et al., 2008）;although, the investigation of animal movements has always been one of the most fascinating topics for any zoologist and often is also quite a difficult task.
