Why are bird migration dates shifting? A review of weather and climate effects on avian migratory phenology (2007, background): “Nocturnal migrant passerines that stopped at Ottenby (Sweden) preferably resumed their migration on those days with tailwinds (Åkesson & Hedenström 2000).”
Stopover behaviour and departure decision of northern wheatears, Oenanthe oenanthe, facing different onward non-stop flight distances (2001, background): “In contrast, in release experiments, northern wheatears departed from Greenland in late summer even when the sky was completely overcast (Ottosson et al. 1990), and a telemetry study in southern Sweden found no influence of visibility conditions on the departures of various passerines ( Akesson and ”
Traveling or stopping of migrating birds in relation to wind: an illustration for the osprey (2006, background): “However, only few studies have investigated the inﬂuence of weather on decisions of whether to travel or not at the individual level, and the results have been equivocal (Fransson, 1998; A˚kesson and Hedenstro¨m, 2000).”
Hemispheric-scale wind selection facilitates bar-tailed godwit circum-migration of the Pacific (2014, background): “Published by Elsevier Lt atmospheric conditions (Åkesson & Hedenström, 2000; Alerstam, 1979, 2011; Liechti, 2006; Mellone, López-López, Limiñana, & Urios, 2011; Shamoun-Baranes, Bouten, & van Loon, 2010; Shamoun-Baranes & van Gasteren, 2011; Shamoun-Baranes, Leyrer, et al., 2010; Williams &…”
Obligatory barrier crossing and adaptive fuel management in migratory birds: the case of the Atlantic crossing in Northern Wheatears (Oenanthe oenanthe) (2008, background): “Wind-selective departures have been observed in other passerine species (e.g. Akesson and Hedenstrom 2000 ).”
Weather and fuel reserves determine departure and flight decisions in passerines migrating across the Baltic Sea (2015, background): “…Walinder, & Alerstam, 1996; Alerstam, 1978; Woodworth et al., 2014) and postponement of the departure for more favourable weather conditions (Åkesson & Hedenstr€om, 2000) have been observed, indicating that the decisions made at stopovers before flights over unfavourable habitats play an…”
How Migrants Get There: Migratory Performance and Orientation (2007, background): “Observations seem to confirm the applicability of this model, as they indicate that departures occur mainly with weak or following winds (Åkesson and Hedenström 2000).”
An operational model predicting autumn bird migration intensities for flight safety (2007, background): “The large impact of wind on migration intensity is commonly found in the literature (Alerstam 1979; Gauthreaux & Belser 1998; Liechti & Bruderer 1998; Åkesson & Hedenström 2000; Erni et al. 2002).”
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): “A3), and runs of days with supportive winds generally short (Åkesson and Hedenström 2000, Beekman et al. 2002).”
