• Hypotheses to explain patterns of population change among breeding bird species in England (2010, background): “Species that breed in Europe but winter in Africa have shown larger population declines than those that are more sedentary (Kanyamibwa et al., 1990; Baillie and Peach, 1992; Berthold et al., 1998; Berthold, 2001; Sanderson et al., 2006; Moller et al., 2008).”
• Individual variation in timing of migration: causes and reproductive consequences in greater snow geese (Anser caerulescens atlanticus) (2004, background): “Therefore, weather conditions (especially wind speed and direction) and social stimuli are probably key factors determining departure of individuals (Berthold 2001; Schaub et al. 2004).”
• Sociable schedules: interplay between avian seasonal and social behaviour (2006, background): “Birds can undertake spectacular seasonal journeys; for example, Arctic terns, Sterna paradisaea, almost circle the globe each year (Alerstam 1990; Berthold 2001).”
• Climate envelope, life history traits and the resilience of birds facing global change (2007, methodology): “, 2007); (17) migratory index, defined as the log-transformed mean distance between breeding and wintering grounds of ringed individuals, using data from the French ringing database and only considering birds ringed in France in April–July and subsequently recorded anywhere, alive or recently dead, ”
• What decision rules might pink-footed geese use to depart on migration? An individual-based model (2009, background): “There is ample evidence that the timing of migration is largely genetically coded and geared to an internal clock (Berthold 1993).”
