• Do changes in climate patterns in wintering areas affect the timing of the spring arrival of trans‐Saharan migrant birds? (2005, background): “By contrast, droughts would reduce plant productivity (Nicholson et al., 1990; Gonzalez, 2001; Hulme et al., 2001; Saino et al., 2004) and, as a consequence, insect availability for insectivore bird species.”
• Populations of migratory bird species that did not show a phenological response to climate change are declining (2008, background): “The ability to adjust migration date to changing climatic conditions also may depend on the concomitant variation in winter habitat quality, because of carryover effects (28, 29).”
• Climate change and timing of spring migration in the long-distance migrant Ficedula hypoleuca in central Europe: the role of spatially different temperature changes along migration routes (2006, background): “It should, however, be mentioned that changes of climatic factors in sub-Saharan winter quarters may modify the onset of spring migration (Cotton 2003; Sokolov and Kosarev 2003; Bairlein and Hüppop 2004; Saino et al. 2004; Both et al. 2005).”
• Variation of primary production during winter induces synchrony in survival rates in migratory white storks Ciconia ciconia (2005, background): “In addition, the reproductive output can be worse following a year with adverse conditions during wintering (Dallinga & Schoenmakers 1987; Marra, Hobson & Holmes 1998; Saino et al. 2004).”
• GIS-models work well, but are not enough: Habitat preferences of Lanius collurio at multiple levels and conservation implications (2009, background): “…habitats (Ellenberg, 1986; Maréchal, 1993; Tucker and Heath, 1994; Fornasari et al., 1997; BirdLife International, 2004), but conditions in the African wintering grounds or migratory stop-over areas may also have affected its population status (see e.g. Peach et al., 1991; Saino et al., 2004).”
• The paradox of Spoonbill migration : Most birds travel to where survival rates are lowest (2011, unknown): “Conditions experienced on the wintering grounds have been correlated with components of fitness such as arrival time on the breeding grounds (Marra et al.1998; Saino et al. 2004), reproductive output (Sedinger et al. 2006) and survival (Peach et al. 1991; Schaub et al. 2005).”
• SEASONAL INTERACTIONS, HABITAT QUALITY, AND POPULATION DYNAMICS IN MIGRATORY BIRDS (2007, background): “Saino et al. (2004a, 2004b) found that laying date and reproductive success of Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica) in Italy was correlated with the normalized differential vegetation index (NDVI, a general measure of annual primary productivity) in the previous season on the African wintering grounds.”
• Linking fluctuations in rainfall to nonbreeding season performance in a long-distance migratory bird, Setophaga ruticilla (2007, background): “Previous research has demonstrated that nonbreeding season rainfall can have important consequences for the phenology of migration and the timing of reproduction in migratory birds (Saino et al. 2004, 2007, this issue, Gordo et al. 2005, Both et al. 2006).”
• Climate change and bird phenology: a long‐term study in the Iberian Peninsula (2006, background): “By contrast, droughts would reduce plant productivity (Nicholson et al., 1990; Gonzalez, 2001; Hulme et al., 2001; Saino et al., 2004) and, as a consequence, insect availability for insectivore bird species.”
• Responses to climate change in avian migration time - microevolution versus phenotypic plasticity (2007, background): “Climatic conditions at the wintering grounds also influence the timing of migration and arrival in Italy (Saino et al. 2004, 2007, this issue).”
• Microevolutionary Response to Climatic Change (2004, background): “…variation in migration phenology, or in any other trait, is a consequence of phenotypic plasticity alone, longitudinal data, i.e., data from individually marked birds measured in more than one year, are required (see Przybylo et al., 2000; Møller, 2002; Sheldon et al., 2003; Saino et al., 2004).”
• Potential impacts of climatic change on the breeding and non‐breeding ranges and migration distance of European Sylvia warblers (2009, background): “…their non-breeding areas influence population fluctuations and trends in several trans-Saharan migrants (Baillie & Peach, 1992; Jones et al., 1996; Saino et al., 2004a,b; Gordo et al., 2005), so changes in the extent or location of their non-breeding range are likely also to have important…”
