• Can conditions experienced during migration limit the population levels of birds? (2006, background): “The authors believe that such behavioural adjustments could be widespread among shorebird species, and suggest that predation could be a major factor shaping the migratory routes, migratory timing and migratory behaviour of shorebirds (Lank et al. 2003).”
• Effects of predator landscapes on the evolutionary ecology of routing, timing and molt by long-distance migrants (2007, background): “A compilation of raptor passage data from sites across the continent reveals that the band of southbound peregrine migration is oriented southwest northeast across the continent (Worcester and Ydenberg unpubl. data; see also Lank et al. 2003).”
• Rates of mass gain and energy deposition in red knot on their final spring staging site is both time‐ and condition‐dependent (2007, background): “Therefore individuals must possess a degree of flexibility to speed up or slow down their migration (Farmer & Wiens 1999; Ydenberg et al . 2002, 2004; Lank et al . 2003 ).”
• Foraging strategies involved in habitat use of shorebirds at the intertidal area of Chongming Dongtan, China (2007, background): “Lank et al. (2003) suggest that most predators on small shorebirds outside the breeding season are medium-sized falcons and accipiter.”
• Tradeoffs between food abundance and predation danger in spatial usage of a stopover site by western sandpipers, Calidris mauri (2006, background): “Conversely, danger is low for sandpipers as they migrate southward (July) through the Fraser Estuary since falcons do not pass through the study site in high abundance until August (Lank et al. 2003).”
• Predation in bird populations (2011, background): “For example, it may only take one Peregrine hunting on an estuary for 10,000 Western Sandpipers Calidris mauri to avoid whole sections of the estuary, or even the entire estuary (Lank et al. 2003; Ydenberg et al. 2004).”
• Intraspecific variation in avian pectoral muscle mass: constraints on maintaining manoeuvrability with increasing body mass (2007, unknown): “foraging; Lank et al. 2003; Burton & Armitage 2005).”
• Long-distance migration: evolution and determinants (2003, background): “Such adaptations 252 OIKOS 103:2 (2003) could involve habitat selection regarding fuelling rate with respect to predation risk (Lindström 1990) and possibly timing of migration to avoid peak predator migration (Lank et al. 2003).”
• MIGRATION STOPOVERS AND THE CONSERVATION OF ARCTIC-BREEDING CALIDRIDINE SANDPIPERS (2006, background): “Increased body mass may reduce a bird’s agility and thereby increase its vulnerability to predation (Lank et al. 2003), increase the fl ight costs of migration, or delay arrival at the breeding grounds because of additional foraging time at a stopover.”
