Citations in the corpus
- Birds: blowin’ by the wind? (2006, background): “Long periods of harsh weather conditions can force birds to depart from a site even under head-winds (Bolshakov and Rezvyi 1998; Erni et al. 2002; Jenni and Schaub 2003).”
- An operational model predicting autumn bird migration intensities for flight safety (2007, background): “Several studies have shown that migration intensity is not only determined by the direct influence of weather but also by the effect of weather on the number of ‘available’ migrants (Rappole & Warner 1976; Fransson 1998; Erni et al. 2002; Pérez-Tris & Tellería 2002).”
- The role of wind in passerine autumn migration between Europe and Africa (2005, methodology): “We extended the simulation model of Erni et al. (2003), adding wind patterns and enlarging the geographic area considered slightly toward the east (Figure 1).”
- Trans-Sahara migrants select flight altitudes to minimize energy costs rather than water loss (2009, background): “Accordingly, departure from stopover sites occurs mostly when tailwinds are prevailing (Erni et al. 2002; Schaub et al. 2004; Erni et al. 2005; for review, see Liechti (2006)).”
- Phenotypic changes in spring arrival: evolution, phenotypic plasticity, effects of weather and condition (2007, background): “Wind speed and direction are probably the most important weather variables determining migration speed and migration patterns in many bird species (Barriocanal et al. 2002, Erni et al. 2002, 2005, Liechti 2006).”
- Obligatory barrier crossing and adaptive fuel management in migratory birds: the case of the Atlantic crossing in Northern Wheatears (Oenanthe oenanthe) (2008, background): “Radar studies show that migration intensity is highest when birds encounter tail winds in their preferred migration direction (Alerstam 1990; Erni et al. 2002).”
