• Morphological Adaptations to Migration in Birds (2016, background): “…64,000 km a year by sooty shearwaters Puffinus griseus; Shaffer et al. 2006) and high relevance for ecological, evolutionary, conservation and health considerations (e.g. Webster et al. 2002; Alerstam et al. 2003; Møller et al. 2008; Bowlin et al. 2010; Altizer et al. 2011; Bauer and Hoye 2014).”
• Timing is crucial for consequences of migratory connectivity (2016, background): “10 Hoye 2014), and the spread of parasites, including those with zoonotic potential (Altizer et al. 2011).”
• The challenges and opportunities of coexisting with wild ungulates in the human-dominated landscapes of Europe's Anthropocene (2019, neutral): “More than 70% of these originate in wildlife (Jones et al., 2008), and changing climate may increase the occurrence of diseases (Altizer et al., 2011; Altizer et al., 2013).”
• New Insights into Pelagic Migrations: Implications for Ecology and Conservation (2012, background): “This information is also fundamental to understanding how diseases might be spread and how disease networks might change as animals change their migration patterns (Altizer et al. 2011).”
• Migratory Animals Couple Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning Worldwide (2014, background): “Thus, although migrants may experience greater exposure to parasites and exhibit potential for long-distance dispersal, migration may also reduce infection risk (31).”
• Linking Movement Ecology with Wildlife Management and Conservation (2016, background): “…impacts, Disease transmission Temporary wetlands Ecological networks, Kerbes et al., 1990; Figuerola and Green, 2002; O'Neal et al., 2008; Altizer et al., 2011 Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) Sedentary/Migratory Scale, Timing, and Drivers Trophic level (umbrella species),…”
• Technology on the Move: Recent and Forthcoming Innovations for Tracking Migratory Birds (2011, background): “In addition, accumulated satellite and GSM tracking data can reveal how migratory birds may serve as long-range disease vectors (Fair and Jankowski 2009, Takekawa et al. 2010, Altizer et al. 2011).”
