• Tracking migratory songbirds: accuracy of light‐level loggers (geolocators) in forest habitats (2012, methodology): “The introduction of geolocators as a method for tracking songbirds throughout their annual cycle has understandably received considerable attention (Rob- inson et al. 2009; Bowlin et al. 2010a,b).”
• Hemispheric-scale wind selection facilitates bar-tailed godwit circum-migration of the Pacific (2014, background): “Antennas were contoured to the bird’s in-flight horizontal plane to reduce potential drag (Barron, Brawn, & Weatherhead, 2010; Bowlin et al., 2010; Pennycuick, Fast, Ballerstädt, & Rattenborg, 2012).”
• Technology on the Move: Recent and Forthcoming Innovations for Tracking Migratory Birds (2011, background): “Studies of migration address a great diversity of questions in a number of different fields (Dingle and Drake 2007, Bowlin et al. 2010a).”
• A meta-analysis of the effects of geolocator application on birds (2013, background): “However, it has been also shown that geolocators can significantly increase drag on the bodies of small birds (Bowlin et al., 2010; Pennycuick et al., 2012).”
• Ten years tracking the migrations of small landbirds: Lessons learned in the golden age of bio-logging (2018, background): “Given that there is already a meta-analyses of tag effects published (Costantini and Moller 2013), and a second in preparation (P. Prochazka personal communication), we did not include in our review papers explicitly testing for effects of geolocators, although we provide a list of these studies…”
