Using the power of comparison to explain habitat use and migration strategies of shorebirds worldwide (2007, unknown): “Needless to say, ‘‘the comparative approach… was Darwin’s favoured technique’’ (Harvey and Pagel 1991).”
Temporal and spatial patterns of repeated migratory journeys by ospreys (2006, methodology): “Positions and routes were plotted on maps of the Mercator projection ( Gudmundsson & Alerstam 1998 ).”
Fuel stores, fuel accumulation, and the decision to depart from a migration stopover site (2008, background): “Most of them found a positive relationship between departure fuel load and fuel deposition rate, supporting the time-minimization hypothesis (Alerstam and Lindström 1990; Gudmundsson et al. 1991; Lindström and Alerstam 1992; Fransson 1998; Schmaljohann and Dierschke 2005), and only few found evidenc”
