Climate change and the origin of migratory pathways in the Swainson's thrush, Catharus ustulatus (2006, background): “The evolution of new migratory pathways can facilitate ecological, morphological, physiological and life-history evolution (Gwinner, 1996; Telleria & Carbonell, 1999; Perez-Tris & Telleria Jose, 2002; Wiltschko & Wiltschko, 2003), and therefore may be important to speciation.”
Green Light for Nocturnally Migrating Birds (2008, background): “…birds use visual cues (Emlen 1967, Evans Ogden 1996, Åkesson and Bäckman 1999, Mouritsen and Larsen 2001) as well as a magnetic compass mechanism (Wiltschko and Merkel 1966, Emlen et al. 1976, Wiltschko and Wiltschko 1995a, Deutschlander et al. 1999, Wiltschko and Wiltschko 2003) for orientation.”
Magnetoreception in birds: two receptors for two different tasks (2007, background): “16) when birds navigate across long distances (for review, see Wiltschko and Wiltschko 2003).”
Regulation of Migration (2007, background): “In most cases, migrants do not depend on a single factor to navigate but utilize a battery of cues as backup systems in case one is obscured at the time of movement (Able 1993,Wiltschko and Wiltschko 2003, Cochran et al. 2004).”
Rationality for Mortals: How People Cope with Uncertainty (2008, background): “For instance, pigeons seem able to use a surprising diversity of methods to navigate, especially considering that they are not long-distance migrants (Wiltschko & Wiltschko, 2003; but cf. Wallraff, 2001).”
Mechanisms of animal global navigation: comparative perspectives and enduring challenges (2005, background): “Developmentally, representational mechanisms that support true navigation in migratory birds are thought to build from the baseline of inherited vector navigation (PerdeCk 1958, wiltsChko & wiltsChko 2003).”
Temporal and spatial patterns of repeated migratory journeys by ospreys (2006, background): “ Wiltschko & Wiltschko 1995, 2003; Wallraff 2001) towards intermediary goal areas (see below) and towards the final breeding and wintering destinations.”
Avian olfactory navigation: its empirical foundation and conceptual state (2004, background): “In a recent review, Wiltschko & Wiltschko (2003a) omitted this whole development and refrained from specifying physical cues used to determine positions; they thus terminated their proceeding ‘from historical to modern concepts’ on homing navigation with a stage that had largely been achieved…”
