Sizing up your enemy: individual predation vulnerability predicts migratory probability.

Abstract excerpt

Partial migration, in which a fraction of a population migrate and the rest remain resident, occurs in an extensive range of species and can have powerful ecological consequences. The question of what drives differences in individual migratory tendency is a contentious one.
