Travelling to breed (2006, background): “…of the borealis subspecies wintering off west Greenland and Canada during the spring migration to the high arctic nesting areas revealed a movement pattern allowing extensive foraging en route, and at some sites females arrived only shortly before presumed dates of egg laying (Mosbech et al. 2006).”
Towards a new understanding of migration timing: slower spring than autumn migration in geese reflects different decision rules for stopover use and departure (2016, background): “…found to migrate faster in autumn than in spring (Nilsson et al. 2013); others are the Bewick’s swan (Nuijten et al. 2014), northern common eider (Mosbech et al. 2006), white stork (Shamoun-Baranes et al. 2003), black-backed gull (Bustnes et al. 2013), booted eagle (Mellone et al. 2015),…”
