The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The role of atmospheric conditions in the seasonal dynamics of North American migration flyways (2014, background): “Moulting during autumn migration is more prevalent for species in the western flyway and is often associated with latitudinal or elevational movements to regions where food resources are more abundant in the late summer (Leu & Thompson, 2002; Rohwer et al., 2005).”
A forensic approach to understanding diet and habitat use from stable isotope analysis of (avian) claw material (2003, background): “Approximately 46% of neotropical migrants and 50% of trans-Saharan migrants continue their flight-feather moult away from the breeding areas ( Leu & Thompson 2002; Jenni & Winkler 1994).”
Influences of Morphology and Behavior on Wing-molt Strategies in Seabirds (2006, background): “Because molt is an important, yet poorly described, aspect of the avian life cycle, molt studies may be the most important limiting factor to furthering our understanding of life-history tradeoffs in birds (Thompson et al. 1998, Rohwer 1999, Filardi & Rohwer 2001, Leu & Thompson 2002).”
