Weather-related mass-mortality events in migrants (2007, background): “For understandable reasons, however, little coherent information is available on the mortality costs of migration (but see O’Briain 1987, Owen & Black 1989, Sillett & Holmes 2002, Menu et al .”
Avian mortality at communication towers in the United States and Canada: which species, how many, and where? (2013, background): “Sillett and Holmes (2002) concluded that both habitat quality before migration as well as conditions during migration, including the number of communication towers encountered along the migratory route, affect mortality.”
The role of wind in passerine autumn migration between Europe and Africa (2005, background): “The only study we know that separately estimates survival for the migratory period in passerines (Sillett and Holmes, 2002) gives estimates of approximately 70% for both autumn and spring migration in an American long-distance migrant.”
Travelling through a warming world: climate change and migratory species. (2009, background): “Because they move between widely dispersed areas, migration can occupy a major part of the life cycle, and account for significant mortality (Sillett & Holmes 2002, Newton 2007).”
The role of atmospheric conditions in the seasonal dynamics of North American migration flyways (2014, background): “…set of strategies that balance the costs and benefits of annual movements between breeding and wintering grounds (Cox, 1985; Pulido, 2007) based on the increased mortality risk of migration (Sillett & Holmes, 2002) and the greater reproductive output on the breeding grounds (Sibly et al., 2012).”
Critical Demographic Parameters for Declining Songbirds Breeding in Restored Grasslands (2006, background): “…suggest that conservation strategies focused on adult survival during the nonbreeding season might be more fruitful than strategies focused during the breeding season because apparent adult survival in songbirds tends to be lower during that period (Powell et al. 2000, Sillett and Holmes 2002).”
Recent advances in understanding migration systems of New World land birds (2010, background): “Several studies have documented patterns of survival of long-distance migrants on their wintering grounds (Holmes et al. 1989, Sillett et al. 2000, Sillett and Holmes 2002, Dugger et al. 2004, Johnson et al. 2006), with emphasis on those species that are extremely site faithful; species that are…”
Long-distance migration: evolution and determinants (2003, background): “In a recent population study of black-throated blue warblers Dendroica caerulescens, Sillett and Holmes (2002) assessed the survival rates during the summer breeding period in New Hampshire, during the winter period in Jamaica and during autumn and spring migration, respectively.”
Tracking migratory songbirds: accuracy of light‐level loggers (geolocators) in forest habitats (2012, background): “The annual survival of migratory songbirds is potentially impacted by events occurring during migration (Sillett & Holmes 2002).”
