The decline of Afro-Palaearctic migrants and an assessment of potential causes (2014, unknown): “…less fat reserves to cross the Sahara than previously thought (Salewski et al. 2010a,b) and have considerable flexibility in fattening strategy (Dierschke et al. 2005, Delingat et al. 2006), but the balance of evidence still supports the view that spring and autumn passages over the Sahara are…”
Obligatory barrier crossing and adaptive fuel management in migratory birds: the case of the Atlantic crossing in Northern Wheatears (Oenanthe oenanthe) (2008, methodology): “The lack of a correlation between DFL and FDR could indicate that females behave according to an energy-minimising strategy (Dierschke et al. 2005).”
Daily stopovers as optimal migration strategy in a long-distance migrating passerine : the Northern Wheatear Oenanthe oenanthe (2006, background): “…flight and leaves the island soon even while experiencing high FDR. O. o. leucorhoa has to stay longer than O. o. oenanthe to gain the required higher fuel loads for an imminent barrier crossing, which is a general observed pattern at Helgoland (Dierschke & Delingat 2001, Dierschke et al. 2005).”
