• Climatic effects on the breeding phenology and reproductive success of an arctic‐nesting goose species (2008, background): “Females that nest early achieve the highest reproductive success (Lepage et al., 2000; Bêty et al., 2004) but egg-laying date is thought to be constrained by climatic factors.”
• Individual repeatability in timing and spatial flexibility of migration routes of trans-Saharan migratory raptors (2014, background): “…routes have been conducted by means of visual observations and recaptures of marked animals at breeding and/or wintering grounds (Newton, 2010; e.g. Rees, 1989; Møller, 2001; Bety et al., 2004; Gunnarsson et al., 2006; Battley, 2006; Bell et al., 2009; Conklin et al., 2010; Lourenço et al., 2011).”
• Migratory connectivity in Arctic geese: spring stopovers are the weak links in meeting targets for breeding (2007, background): “…birds face the challenge of producing a clutch as soon as possible after arrival on the breeding grounds, since the prospects for progeny decline rapidly with advancing date (Sedinger and Raveling 1986; Sedinger and Flint 1991; Lepage et al. 1998; Prop et al. 2003; Bêty et al. 2003, 2004).”
• Exposure to high temperature influences the behaviour, physiology, and survival of sockeye salmon during spawning migration (2008, background): “Given the highly adaptive nature of migration timing, not only in salmon but in many other organisms (Brown and Brown 2000; Drent et al. 2003; Prop et al. 2003; Bêty et al. 2004), serious fitness consequences are expected when migration dates deviate significantly from historic averages.”
• Towards a new understanding of migration timing: slower spring than autumn migration in geese reflects different decision rules for stopover use and departure (2016, background): “…drivers have been suggested to cause migrants to progress slower during spring migration: 1) high individual costs of early arrival to the breeding grounds (Bety et al. 2004), 2) seasonal differences in food availability and 3) seasonal differences in wind conditions (Shamoun-Baranes et al. 2003).”
• Patterns of change in timing of spring migration in North European songbird populations (2006, unknown): “This view is supported by studies showing that individuals within a population follow different strategies (e.g. Bêty et al. 2004), heritability in timing of migration (Berthold and Pulido 1994) and fitness consequences related to arrival (e.g. Lozano et al. 1996).”
• SUMMER DISTRIBUTION AND MIGRATION OF NONBREEDING ALBATROSSES: INDIVIDUAL CONSISTENCIES AND IMPLICATIONS FOR CONSERVATION (2005, background): “This is one of the very few studies of any bird to show significant individual consistency in timing or duration of migration that was not confounded by potential cultural transmission (also see Potti 1998, Møller 2001, Bêty et al. 2004).”
