Climate change, migratory connectivity and changes in laying date and clutch size of the pied flycatcher (2006, background): “In the wintering grounds pied flycatchers inhabit variable habitats from gallery forests to tree savanna (Salewski et al. 2003) and defend territories in which they stay throughout winter (Salewski et al. 2002).”
Light‐level geolocators reveal migratory connectivity in European populations of pied flycatchers Ficedula hypoleuca (2016, unknown): “Although pied flycatchers arrive in autumn in lush and green conditions at their wintering sites, these sites become progressively dryer during the season, and fuelling for spring migration takes place at the end of the dry season (Moreau 1972, Salewski et al. 2002c).”
Are long‐distance migrant passerines faithful to their stopover sites? (2004, background): “177 this area ( Salewski et al. 2002 ). Since our hypothesis does not apply to populations showing itinerant behaviour, this comparison does not contradict Prediction 2. Willow warblers have been recorded having relatively high return rates (24 to 29/0.389/62/75%) to their breeding territories (Tiai”
