Towards a new understanding of migration timing: slower spring than autumn migration in geese reflects different decision rules for stopover use and departure (2016, background): “Furthermore, their slow, stepwise migration enables the geese to subsequently predict weather conditions (Tombre et al. 2008, Kölzsch et al. 2015) and thus not arrive at their breeding grounds if snow still covers most breeding and foraging sites, which might happen to other mainly non-stop…”
Phenological matching across hemispheres in a long‐distance migratory bird (2013, background): “…spatially explicit indices of ‘greening’ or primary productivity (Schwartz, 1998) have also been compared with animal movement data to better understand how plant phenology might influence the timing of animal migration (e.g. Marra et al., 2005; Tombre et al., 2008; Sawyer & Kauffman, 2011).”
Individually tracked geese follow peaks of temperature acceleration during spring migration (2012, unknown): “Another predictor, examined by Tombre et al. (2008), is the normalized difference Konstanzer Online-Publikations-System (KOPS) URL: http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bsz:352-2-1cyvc928shqh72 Erschienen in: Oikos ; 121 (2012), 5.”
