High juvenile mortality during migration in a declining population of a long-distance migratory raptor (2015, background): “…juvenile Egyptian Vultures may explore several areas in wintering regions to track resource availability and build knowledge of alternative wintering areas with sufficient food sources that will benefit them in future years (Bennetts & Kitchens 2000, Oppel et al. 2009a, Trierweiler et al. 2013).”
Phenotypic correlates of post-fledging dispersal in a population of greater flamingos: the importance of body condition (2003, background): “Because in greater flamingos chick body condition is related closely to water levels and food availability in the Camargue (Cézilly et al. 1995), this body condition gradient is similar to the food availability gradient proposed by Bennetts & Kitchens (2000) for another nomadic species.”
Low site fidelity and home range drift in a wide-ranging, large Arctic omnivore (2009, background): “Animal movement and space use patterns can provide insight into habitat productivity and the spatiotemporal distribution of available resources (Phillips et al. 1998; Bennetts & Kitchens 2000; Mauritzen et al. 2001).”
