• The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI): unforeseen successes in animal ecology (2011, background): “NDVI can for example, help predict species richness, distribution, abundance, migration patterns or life history traits of birds (Saino et al. 2004a,b, Gordo 2007, Evans et al. 2008, St-Louis et al. 2009).”
• Populations of migratory bird species that did not show a phenological response to climate change are declining (2008, result): “Therefore, we analyzed change in phenology over time, assuming that such change was due to change in climate, as has been done in other studies (8, 9, 21, 35, 46, 47).”
• Effects of climate change on European ducks: what do we know and what do we need to know? (2013, background): “Changes in phenology and breeding success The most frequently documented effect of climate change on birds is an advancement of spring migration (reviews in Hughes 2000, Walther et al. 2002, Crick 2004, Gordo 2007, Ambrosini et al. 2011, Knudsen et al. 2011).”
• Variable shifts in spring and autumn migration phenology in North American songbirds associated with climate change (2009, background): “Results from European observatories are widely acknowledged to record a sharply advanced spring migration in recent decades, and strong associations between migration timing and regional weather conditions (reviewed by Lehikoinen et al., 2004; Gienapp et al., 2007; Gordo, 2007).”
• Travelling through a warming world: climate change and migratory species. (2009, background): “Migrants in a broad range of taxonomic groups, including birds (e.g. Hüppop & Hüppop 2003, Beaumont et al. 2006, Gordo 2007), cephalopods (Sims et al. 2001), fish (Sims et al. 2004), and mammals (Fryxell & Sinclair 1988), exhibit changing migration phenology in response to both local and regional…”
• Climate change and timing of avian breeding and migration throughout Europe (2007, background): “…2007 Although additional environmental factors like wind speed and direction also affect migration speed (Jenni & Schaub 2003, Schaub et al. 2004, Gordo 2007, Sinelschikova et al. 2007), we focus here just on temperature change for the sake of simplicity and because high temperatures are often…”
• Temperature and rainfall anomalies in Africa predict timing of spring migration in trans-Saharan migratory birds (2007, background): “Individual migratory birds may thus adjust their decisions on timing of departure from the wintering grounds, migration speed and route, and timing of arrival at the breeding grounds according to contingent ecological conditions (Przybylo et al. 2000, Møller & Merilä 2004, Gordo 2007).”
• Individual repeatability in timing and spatial flexibility of migration routes of trans-Saharan migratory raptors (2014, background): “…at breeding/wintering areas or en route (e.g. food availability, daylength, meteorological conditions), and intrinsic factors such as individual characteristics (e.g. genetic program, age, sex) (Gordo, 2007; Both, 2010; Mellone et al., 2011; Studds and Marra, 2011; Ockendon et al., 2013).”
