Migratory connectivity of Palaearctic–African migratory birds and their responses to environmental change: the serial residency hypothesis

W Cresswell - Ibis, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
In most long‐distance migratory birds, juveniles migrate without their parents and so are
likely to lack detailed knowledge of where to go. This suggests the potential for stochasticity …
