Towards a new understanding of migration timing: slower spring than autumn migration in geese reflects different decision rules for stopover use and departure (2016, result): “This finding conforms with the theory that birds with high energy cost of travel and the ability of fuel deposition during migration should be highly selective for supporting winds (Thorup et al. 2006).”
A brief guide to model selection, multimodel inference and model averaging in behavioural ecology using Akaike’s information criterion (2010, background): “For example, Thorup et al. (2006) sought to identify the environmental covariates associated with migration behaviour decisions in ospreys on a particular day—covariates that included wind speed and direction, precipitation, time of year and previous migration history.”
