Vincent Kaufmann, Guillaume Simon Joseph Drevon, Alexis Gumy, Gil Viry, Florian Lucien Jacques Masse
Among heterosexual couples, employment of the female partner may suffer from household migration often driven by the job of the male partner. Most research has traditionally focused on the distance moved after couple formation and has neglected how far par ...
2024City, State, Transnational Space
This chapter takes stock of contemporary migration by breaking with a few myths and by distinguishing between interregional and international migration. It shows how new research paradigms have relativized the importance of the state as the preferred frame ...
ISTE Wiley2023Two-generation common-garden experiment reveals a strong genetic contribution to migration tendency in brown trout (Salmo trutta)
Many salmonids, including brown trout (Salmo trutta), demonstrate alternative migration strategies under different environmental conditions, and as such, they are assumed to be predominantly facultative. Through experimental breeding for two generations, w ...

Gaétan Jean A de Rassenfosse, Gabriele Pellegrino
This paper assesses the extent to which the international migration of inventors affects innovation in the receiving country. Drawing on a novel database that maps the migratory patterns of inventors, we exploit the end of the Soviet Union and the conseque ...
Lausanne2023The end of urban sprawl? Internal migration across the rural-urban continuum in Switzerland, 1966-2018
In high-income countries, migration redistributed populations from congested city centres into the sparsely populated outskirts, raising challenges to environmental and population health and the conservation of biodiversity. We evaluate whether this periur ...
WILEY2022Power Shifts, Emigration, and Population Sorting
We investigate the consequences of a peaceful shift of power from one social group to another. Theoretically, we show that an individual’s decision to stay put or migrate depends on the difference between the political preferences of groups and the change ...
ETH Zurich2022International Migration And The Growth Of Zurich, 1836-1949
The role played by international migration and its interactions with other demographic components in the process of city growth remains underappreciated. We analyze trends in natural increase and in net internal and international migration in Zurich during ...
INST NATL D ETUDES DEMOGRAPHIQUES202121 000 birds in 4.5 h: efficient large‐scale seabird detection with machine learning
Devis Tuia, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger
We address the task of automatically detecting and counting seabirds in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery using deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Our study area, the coast of West Africa, harbours significant breeding colonies of terns and gul ...
2021Testing two competing hypotheses for Eurasian jays' caching for the future
Previous research reported that corvids preferentially cache food in a location where no food will be available or cache more of a specific food in a location where this food will not be available. Here, we consider possible explanations for these prospect ...
NATURE RESEARCH2021International Migration and City Growth in the Global South: An Analysis of IPUMS Data for Seven Countries, 1992–2013
Evidence on the demographic components of city growth in the global South is scarce, and the role played by international migration is neglected. We analyze the importance of recent international migration in cities, compare it with that of internal moveme ...
