• Why are bird migration dates shifting? A review of weather and climate effects on avian migratory phenology (2007, background): “Lean individuals can better avoid predation (Lind et al. 1999, Kullberg et al. 2000, Cimprich & Moore 2006), but a lighter body mass would be penalized with a shorter flight autonomy.”
• The effects of wing loading and gender on the escape flights of least sandpipers (Calidris minutilla) and western sandpipers (Calidris mauri) (2002, background): “Previous studies on migrating birds have found a negative effect of fat load or wing loading on escape speed (blackcaps, Kullberg et al. 1996; sedge warbers, Kullberg et al. 2000 ) and angle (blackcaps, Kullberg et al. 1996; European robins, Lind et al. 1999).”
• Death and danger at migratory stopovers: problems with “predation risk” (2003, background): “Dierschke writes ‘‘That predation risk increases with increasing body mass has been shown for single birds in experiments (Witter et al. 1994, Kullberg et al. 1996, 2000 )…’’.”
• Intraspecific variation in avian pectoral muscle mass: constraints on maintaining manoeuvrability with increasing body mass (2007, background): “blackcap Sylvia atricapilla, Kullberg, Fransson & Jakobsson 1996; European robin Erithacus rubecula, Lind et al. 1999; sedge warbler Acrocephalus schoenobaenus, Kullberg, Jakobsson & Fransson 2000 ).”
• Factors affecting the site of investment, and the reliance on savings for arctic breeders : the capital–income dichotomy revisited (2006, background): “Studies of escape responses of birds in relation to body mass when attacked by a simulated predator also indicate that birds suffer an increased predation risk with an increase in mass (Witter et al. 1994, Lee et al. 1996, Lind et al. 1999, Kullberg et al. 2000, 2005).”
• Predators and the breeding bird: behavioral and reproductive flexibility under the risk of predation (2009, background): “Such performance effects are most noticeable when birds fly with masses typical of migration (Kullberg, 2000), incubation (Kullberg, Houston & Metcalfe 2002b) or while carrying a developing egg (Kullberg, Houston & Metcalfe, 2002a, Kullberg et al., 2005), but may also occur with lesser weight gains…”
