• Why are bird migration dates shifting? A review of weather and climate effects on avian migratory phenology (2007, background): “However, arrival date cannot be too early because of costs in terms of mortality due to the absence of suitable ecological conditions in the breeding grounds at the beginning of spring (e.g. low temperatures, food scarcity; Brown & Brown 2000, Jonzén et al. 2007a, Newton 2007).”
• 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).”
• Avian body size changes and climate change: warming or increasing variability? (2012, background): “If the climate becomes more variable, it has been predicted that birds may need increased energy storage for fasting endurance to survive extreme weather events (Newton, 2007).”
• Key conservation issues for migratory land- and waterbird species on the world's major flyways (2008, background): “Mortality owing to artificial structures Newton (2007) collated information on bird mortality caused by human artefacts, such as powerlines, wind turbines, gas flares and telecommunications masts.”
• Migration within the annual cycle: species, sex and age differences (2011, background): “These assumptions on the timing of migration are consistent with observational data, but are hard to test rigorously, although it is clear that when migrants encounter unseasonable cold at migration times, reducing their food supplies, they can suffer heavy mortality (Newton 2007).”
