Abstract: 
The evolution of migration has long been the domain of evolutionary ecology. Work has focused on how natural selection drives the gain and loss of migration. We review applications of phylogenetic approaches to the question. By examining the deeper evolutionary history of migratory species and their populations rather than just their present-day ecology, such approaches, which can include historical biogeography and phylogeography, complement ecology. For example, breeding distributions appear to have been commonly displaced during the evolution of migration; component species of a migration system need not have evolved migration at the same time nor by the same processes nor in response to the same environmental pressures. The tools of historical biogeography, phylogeny and population genetics allow one to tease apart such spatiotemporal heterogeneity that may underlie the evolution of any migration system.
