• Breeding performance, mate fidelity, and nest site fidelity in a long-lived seabird: behaving against the current? (2006, background): “In species where territories hold feeding resources, territory quality may be directly assessed by the quantity or quality of its resources (Newton and Wyllie 1996, Forstmeier 2002 ).”
• Responses to climate change in avian migration time - microevolution versus phenotypic plasticity (2007, background): “On the other hand, individuals arriving late can face stronger competition for mates or territories (Forstmeier 2002) and may also experience reduced reproductive success due to rapid decline in seasonal resources in summer (e.g. van Noordwijk et al. 1995, Visser et al. 2006).”
• Sequential settlement and site dependence in a migratory raptor (2007, background): “Numerous previous studies have highlighted the benefits of early arrival in terms of 1) access to higher quality partners (e.g., Alatalo et al. 1984; Potti and Montalvo 1991; Currie et al. 2000; Forstmeier 2002), 2) earlier laying (review in Table 3), 3) higher breeding success (review in Table 3) a”
• Daily stopovers as optimal migration strategy in a long-distance migrating passerine : the Northern Wheatear Oenanthe oenanthe (2006, background): “For migrating birds the right timing and arrival before competitors at breeding grounds has been shown to be an important factor affecting breeding success (e.g. Currie et al. 2000, Forstmeier 2002, Ollivier et al. 1999, Smith & Moore 2005).”
• Pay-offs and penalties of competing migratory schedules (2003, background): “Forstmeier (2002) investigated arrival patterns in the long-distance migrant dusky warbler (Phylloscopus fuscatus) in the Russian far east.”
• Why are bird migration dates shifting? A review of weather and climate effects on avian migratory phenology (2007, background): “…grounds has many benefits for individuals: best breeding territories, increased chances to obtain a mate, better quality mates, increased chances for extra clutches and higher survival rates of offspring (Møller 1994, Kokko 1999, Forstmeier 2002, Dunn 2004, Bearhop et al. 2005, Newton 2006).”
