• The decline of Afro-Palaearctic migrants and an assessment of potential causes (2014, unknown): “Mismatch has also been suggested as one of the possible causes of the relationship between timing of migrant declines in the UK and wintering latitude, with species wintering further south tending to exhibit more recent declines (Thaxter et al. 2010, Ockendon et al. 2012).”
• Recent population declines in Afro‐Palaearctic migratory birds: the influence of breeding and non‐breeding seasons (2013, background): “Recent, rapid rates of population decline among many Afro-Palaearctic migratory bird species, particularly those species travelling further south to the humid tropics of sub-Saharan Africa, have led to suggestions that changing conditions within this region of Africa are likely to be driving these d”

• Light‐level geolocators reveal migratory connectivity in European populations of pied flycatchers Ficedula hypoleuca (2016, unknown): “…accounting for such differences in individual migration schedules when trying to explain responses to environmental conditions during winter or migration (pied flycatchers: Both et al. 2006, Both and te Marvelde 2007, Both 2010; multiple species: Robson and Barriocanal 2011, Ockendon et al. 2012).”
