Stopping vs. staging: the difference between a hop and a jump
N Warnock - Journal of Avian Biology, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Places where migrant birds stop to rest, drink, and eat at are often described as either
stopover or staging sites. Attempts have been made to differentiate between these two terms …

[HTML][HTML] Arctic geese tune migration to a warming climate but still suffer from a phenological mismatch
Climate warming challenges animals to advance their timing of reproduction [1], but many
animals appear to be unable to advance at the same rate as their food species [2, 3]. As a …

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

[HTML][HTML] Breeding latitude drives individual schedules in a trans-hemispheric migrant bird
Despite clear benefits of optimal arrival time on breeding grounds, migration schedules may
vary with an individual bird's innate quality, non-breeding habitat or breeding destination …

Forecasting spring from afar? Timing of migration and predictability of phenology along different migration routes of an avian herbivore
Herbivorous birds are hypothesized to migrate in spring along a seasonal gradient of plant
profitability towards their breeding grounds (green wave hypothesis). For Arctic breeding …

Timing is crucial for consequences of migratory connectivity
S Bauer, S Lisovski, S Hahn - Oikos, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Migratory connectivity can have important consequences for individuals, populations and
communities. We argue that most consequences not only depend on which sites are used …
