Gut travellers: internal dispersal of aquatic organisms by waterfowl (2012, background): “2, Appendix S2) indicates that if an average waterbird flies at a speed of 75 km h 1 (Welham, 1994; Bruderer & Boldt, 2001; Clausen et al., 2002; Miller et al., 2005) for prolonged time, it has the potential to disperse five viable propagules after flying more than 100 km, and one additional…”
Remote techniques for counting and estimating the number of bird–wind turbine collisions at sea: a review (2006, methodology): “Observed flight speed can be used to group the echoes into different groups of birds (Bruderer & Boldt 2001, Larkin & Thompson 1980, Larkin 1991), since small birds tend to fly slower than larger birds.”
Long-distance endozoochorous dispersal of submerged macrophyte seeds by migratory waterbirds in northern Europe - a critical review of possibilities and limitations (2002, background): “This discrepancy between observed flight speeds and maximum range speeds, and a closer fit with minimum power speed with increasing body mass, has been noted before (Pennycuick, 1997; Bruderer and Boldt, 2001). Comparing data from Table 1 with the flight speeds of 139 European birds by Bruderer and ”
Obligatory barrier crossing and adaptive fuel management in migratory birds: the case of the Atlantic crossing in Northern Wheatears (Oenanthe oenanthe) (2008, methodology): “Fuel requirements for different Atlantic and North Sea crossings are calculated assuming an airspeed of 13 m/s (47 km/h) in still air as measured using radar by Bruderer and Boldt (2001).”
