Using the power of comparison to explain habitat use and migration strategies of shorebirds worldwide (2007, background): “The suggestion that migration schedules of Red Knots are not deeply rooted in their phylogeny echoes similar findings of evolutionary lability of migration in passerines, where closely related species or subspecies may also show stark divergences in migratory versus sedentary behaviour (Helbig 2003;”
Climate change and the origin of migratory pathways in the Swainson's thrush, Catharus ustulatus (2006, background): “…controversial (Zink, 2002; Rappole, 2003), it is generally accepted that migratory behaviour is a labile trait (Berthold et al., 1992; Berthold, 2001; Helbig, 2003; Perez-Tris et al., 2004), and that the original capacity for migration evolved deep in the avian lineage (Dingle, 1996; Helbig, 2003).”
Bird migration in the southern hemisphere: a review comparing continents (2008, background): “…arising as needed by incorporating or modifying traits that already exist, like flight (Dingle 2006), and bearing little relation to relatedness among species or even of subspecies within lineages (Helbig 2003;Leisler andWinkler 2003;Outlaw et al. 2003; Joseph2005; Outlaw and Voelker 2006).”
Animal migration: is there a common migratory syndrome? (2006, background): “Migration has evolved many times across organisms of very different evolutionary histories so that phylogeny seems to impose no constraint (e.g., Helbig 2003).”
A framework for the study of genetic variation in migratory behaviour (2006, unknown): “Comparative studies addressing this particular problem are required to place particular traits of the migratory syndrome into correct evolutionary context (Rappole et al. 2003; Helbig 2003; Zink 2003; Pérez-Tris et al. 2004; Piersma et al. 2005).”
Patterns of change in timing of spring migration in North European songbird populations (2006, background): “For each species, the migration distance from its main wintering areas to its main breeding area (south-eastern Finland) was estimated (to the nearest 500 km; Cramp 1988, 1992, Cramp and Perrins 1993, 1994, Helbig 2003).”
