• Climatic responses in spring migration of boreal and arctic birds in relation to wintering area and taxonomy (2006, unknown): “…the median arrival time of the Pied Flycatcher to Finland is strongly affected by en route temperatures in the last stages of spring migration (Ahola et al. 2004), which explain arrival better than NAO, but the latter captures almost as well the relationship of migration timing and weather.”
• Travelling through a warming world: climate change and migratory species. (2009, background): “Although the onset of migratory behaviour in birds is determined endogenously (Berthold 2001, Marra et al. 2005), the precise timing of the journey appears flexible and may be modified by conditions en route (Ahola et al. 2004, Schekkerman et al. 2004, Hüppop & Winkel 2006).”
• Climatic effects on timing of spring migration and breeding in a long‐distance migrant, the pied flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuca (2005, unknown): “Pied flycatchers have indeed been shown before to arrive later when temperatures en route are low (Curio 1959, Ahola et al. 2004) and even reverse their migration direction from north-east to south-west in spring when temperatures encountered in central Europe are low (Walther and Bingman 1984).”
• Climate change and timing of spring migration in the long-distance migrant Ficedula hypoleuca in central Europe: the role of spatially different temperature changes along migration routes (2006, methodology): “In SW Finland, the arrivals of the earliest pied flycatchers (fifth percentile) advanced significantly and the advancement of median arrival date was almost significant, while late migrants’ arrival dates did not advance (Ahola et al. 2004).”
• Phenotypic changes in spring arrival: evolution, phenotypic plasticity, effects of weather and condition (2007, background): “…these changes to phenotypic plasticity in response to environmental alterations (Sokolov et al. 1998, Hüppop & Hüppop 2003, Sokolov & Kosarev 2003, Ahola et al. 2004, Anthes 2004, Vähätalo et al. 2004, Stervander et al. 2005, Croxton et al. 2006, Hüppop & Winkel 2006, Both & te Marvelde 2007,…”
• Spring arrival response to climate change in birds: a case study from eastern Europe (2006, background): “Ahola et al. (2004) showed that migration and breeding timing of the trans-Saharan migrant pied flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuca closely follow local temperatures along the migration route and on breeding grounds.”
• Populations of migratory bird species that did not show a phenological response to climate change are declining (2008, background): “This fact prevented us from quantifying change in migration phenology in relation to local climate, because climate during any part of the migratory path could potentially affect change in phenology (44, 45).”
• Long-Term Trends in Bird Populations: A Review of Patterns and Potential Drivers in North America and Europe (2013, background): “This leads to local declines in breeding productivity or increased adult mortality (Julliard et al. 2003, Ahola et al. 2004) resulting in population decline of the affected species (Both et al. 2006).”
• Climate change, migratory connectivity and changes in laying date and clutch size of the pied flycatcher (2006, methodology): “To describe temperatures and rainfall prior to egglaying at the breeding areas, we used mean and standard deviation of average daily temperatures, and mean daily rainfall and its standard deviation in May; pied flycatchers begin to arrive in Finland at the turn of April/May, and most of them have in”
• Why are bird migration dates shifting? A review of weather and climate effects on avian migratory phenology (2007, methodology): “5b; Huin & Sparks 1998, 2000, Boyd 2003, Sokolov & Kosarev 2003, Strode 2003, Ahola et al. 2004, Both et al. 2005, Chambers 2005, Mitrus et al. 2005, Rodríguez-Teijeiro et al. 2005, Croxton et al. 2006, Hüppop & Winkel 2006, Sokolov 2006, Zalakevicius et al. 2006, Sinelschikova et al. 2007, Sparks…”
• Has Prey Availability for Arctic Birds Advanced with Climate Change? Hindcasting the Abundance of Tundra Arthropods Using Weather and Seasonal Variations (2009, background): “…accelerating migration in response to increasing temperatures even in non-breeding areas and along the route has been shown in pied flycatchers (Ahola et al., 2004) and in a study of 20 migrant landbirds (Cotton, 2003), changes in the breeding areas may not be perceivable or predictable by…”
• Responses to climate change in avian migration time - microevolution versus phenotypic plasticity (2007, background): “However, this would mean that their departure time is more or less constant among years, but by adjusting their migration speed to environmental conditions en route (e.g. Ahola et al. 2004) they may still express some degree of phenotypic plasticity.”
• The decline of Afro-Palaearctic migrants and an assessment of potential causes (2014, unknown): “However, although the birds arrived early in response to increasing temperatures in northern Germany, they did not initiate breeding attempts any earlier, probably because temperatures on the breeding ground remained consistent during the study period (Ahola et al. 2004).”
• Examining the total arrival distribution of migratory birds (2005, background): “In addition to reported changes to FAD and the central location of the arrival distribution, recent studies on white stork Ciconia ciconia (Ptaszyk et al., 2003) and pied flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuca (Ahola et al., 2004) have suggested a change in the shape of the arrival distribution.”
• Going, Going, Gone: Is Animal Migration Disappearing (2008, background): “, minor changes in day length in the tropics), then the songbirds could face serious food shortages during the migration or breeding season [16].”
• Heterogeneous intra-annual climatic changes drive different phenological responses at two trophic levels (2008, background): “Few studies have searched for the period during which climatic variables are best related to phenological events (e.g. Matsumoto et al. 2003, Ahola et al. 2004, Lu et al. 2006).”
• Temperature and rainfall anomalies in Africa predict timing of spring migration in trans-Saharan migratory birds (2007, background): “…led to the hypothesis that climatic changes are directly driving the observed trends in phenological events (Both & Visser 2001, Parmesan & Yohe 2003, Root et al. 2003, Ahola et al. 2004, Jonzén et al. 2006a, Schwartz et al. 2006, Gienapp et al. 2007, this issue, Gordo 2007, Rubolini et al. 2007a).”
