Obligatory barrier crossing and adaptive fuel management in migratory birds: the case of the Atlantic crossing in Northern Wheatears (Oenanthe oenanthe) (2008, background): “There is some controversy regarding some of these assumptions (Hedenström 2002); especially the magnitude of the body drag coefficient is not known with great precision.”
Avian visual system configuration and behavioural response to object approach (2009, unknown): “wing lift (Pennycuick 1975; Hedenström 2002).”
Influences of Morphology and Behavior on Wing-molt Strategies in Seabirds (2006, background): “Key words: Molt, moult, life history, tradeoff, comparative studies, breeding, migration, seabirds Marine Ornithology 34: 7–19 (2006) to sizable gaps among the flight feathers that would probably reduce flight performance (Hedenström 2002).”
A framework for the study of genetic variation in migratory behaviour (2006, unknown): “Equation 1 also indicates that migration speed is maximised if the power required to fly is minimised, something that can be understood from flight mechanical theory (Hedenström 2002, 2003).”
