Using the power of comparison to explain habitat use and migration strategies of shorebirds worldwide (2007, background): “…seen, is likely to be a problem for a time-stressed migrant such as rufa that comes from the far end of the other hemisphere and, in fact, late arrivals in recent years may also represent individual adjustments to local fuelling difficulties encountered in previous years (Atkinson et al. 2007).”
Fuel stores, fuel accumulation, and the decision to depart from a migration stopover site (2008, background): “However, it appears that body mass often affects stopover duration at sites in front of an ecological barrier or in a desert oasis, that is, when it is useful to depart with a certain amount of fuel (Bairlein 1985a; Biebach et al. 1986; Atkinson et al. 2007).”
