Towards a new understanding of migration timing: slower spring than autumn migration in geese reflects different decision rules for stopover use and departure

A Kölzsch, GJDM Müskens, H Kruckenberg, P Glazov… - Oikos, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
According to migration theory and several empirical studies, long‐distance migrants are
more time‐limited during spring migration and should therefore migrate faster in spring than …

Comprehensive estimation of spatial and temporal migratory connectivity across the annual cycle to direct conservation efforts

EC Knight, AL Harrison, AL Scarpignato… - …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Migratory connectivity is the degree to which populations are linked in space and time
