Hemispheric-scale wind selection facilitates bar-tailed godwit circum-migration of the Pacific (2014, background): “Sometimes terrestrial migrants make incorrect assessments of synoptic-scale winds at departure or en route that create shortcomings in their travel energy budgets (Drent, 2006; citations in Newton, 2008; Richardson, 1977, 1990; Shamoun-Baranes & van d. Gasteren, 2011).”
Travelling to breed (2006, background): “…was thus the elucidation of the ecology of spring migration, but we started with revisiting the fundamental concept advanced by Perrins (1970) that physiological constraints operating on the female might delimit the ability to adjust the laying date to environmental conditions (Drent 2006).”
