The Radical-Pair Mechanism of Magnetoreception. (2016, background): “Furthermore, catastrophic mortalities of migratory birds have been reported during extended periods of thick overcast and fog when flight above or below the clouds is not possible (4, 145).”
What decision rules might pink-footed geese use to depart on migration? An individual-based model (2009, background): “An extensive literature shows that many migratory birds arrive every year at a fixed date, using endogenous rhythms under photoperiod control (Gwinner and Helm 2003; Newton 2008).”
Morphological Adaptations to Migration in Birds (2016, background): “To minimise the costs multiple physiological, as well as external and internal morphological adaptations had been suggested to be present in birds, serving the purpose of efficient resource utilisation and enabling birds to perform the most extreme migratory journeys ever recorded in the animal king”
Australian waterbirds – time and space travellers in dynamic desert landscapes (2010, neutral): “Their nomadic movements are often described as ‘erratic’ or ‘unpredictable’ and usually classified separately from seasonal migration (Nix 1974; Ford 1989; Griffioen and Clarke 2002; Newton 2008; cf. Dingle 1996); however, this has focused more on the direction and timing of movement than the underl”
The natural link between Europe and Africa – 2.1 billion birds on migration (2009, background): “45) introduced his attempt to estimate the number of birds involved in the world’s biggest bird migration system, the Palaearctic African flyway (Newton 2008).”
Multicolony tracking reveals the winter distribution of a pelagic seabird on an ocean basin scale (2012, positive): “Understanding the non-breeding ecology of migratory species is important since individuals often move long distances to avoid seasonal deterioration in weather and food availability around breeding sites and may face energetically challenging conditions during the non-breeding period (Newton, 2008).”
Moult and plumage (2009, background): “Some species also show sex differences in the timing of moult and migration, according to their different parental roles (Newton 2008).”
Colonisation of urban environments is associated with reduced migratory behaviour, facilitating divergence from ancestral populations (2012, background): “Animals frequently migrate to minimise exposure to extreme climates (Newton 2008).”
Drivers of animal migration and implications in changing environments (2016, positive): “A number of waterfowl species have refuge migrations from nesting sites to more protected areas where they moult (Newton 2008).”
Bird migration in the southern hemisphere: a review comparing continents (2008, background): “…round-trip journeys of northern hemisphere migrants occurring at both intra- and inter-continental scales.Definitions of migration by ornithologists usually incorporate such seasonal round-trip patterns as the chief criterion (e.g.Newton 2003, 2008; Allaby 2004; Salewski and Bruderer 2007).”
Weather and fuel reserves determine departure and flight decisions in passerines migrating across the Baltic Sea (2015, background): “…to leave a stopover site may affect the overall success of migration (Alerstam & Hedenstr€om, 1998; Alerstam & Lindstr€om, 1990; Newton, 2006), especially at coastal stopover sites where competition and risk of predation are expected to be high (Newton, 2008; Woodworth, Francis, & Taylor, 2014).”
Recent population declines in Afro‐Palaearctic migratory birds: the influence of breeding and non‐breeding seasons (2013, background): “…in Scotland and England are apparent in species considered to be itinerant (e.g. willow warbler, tree pipit, Anthus trivialis and garden warbler) during the non-breeding season (Salewski & Jones, Diversity and Distributions, 19, 1051–1058, ª 2013 John Wiley & Sons Ltd 1055 2006; Newton, 2008).”
Migration and wintering of a declining seabird, the thick-billed murre Uria lomvia, on an ocean basin scale: Conservation implications (2016, background): “Overall, it is clear that migratory connectivity has long been a grey area of seabird ecology and conservation (Newton, 2008).”
