• Linking fluctuations in rainfall to nonbreeding season performance in a long-distance migratory bird, Setophaga ruticilla (2007, background): “Previous research has demonstrated that nonbreeding season rainfall can have important consequences for the phenology of migration and the timing of reproduction in migratory birds (Saino et al. 2004, 2007, this issue, Gordo et al. 2005, Both et al. 2006).”
• Climate change and timing of avian breeding and migration throughout Europe (2007, methodology): “In short, data from the literature (Curio 1959, Lundberg & Alatalo 1992, Sandberg 1996) were supplemented with data we collected at the Hoge Veluwe from 2003 to 2004, and data provided from a population at 64° N by J. T. Seppanen (see Forsman et al. 2002).”
• Phenotypic changes in spring arrival: evolution, phenotypic plasticity, effects of weather and condition (2007, background): “…Coppack & Both 2002, Pulido & Widmer 2005), and, therefore, to have the highest heritability, yet environment-induced variation in physical condition may be an important source of phenotypic variation in departure date (Saino et al. 2007, Studds & Marra 2007, both this issue; see also Section 4).”
• Populations of migratory bird species that did not show a phenological response to climate change are declining (2008, result): “Therefore, we analyzed change in phenology over time, assuming that such change was due to change in climate, as has been done in other studies (8, 9, 21, 35, 46, 47).”
• Variable shifts in spring and autumn migration phenology in North American songbirds associated with climate change (2009, background): “(1) Short-term fluctuations in weather variables can sometimes be linked to phenological variation, and reasonable mechanisms underlying these links can be proposed (Post & Stenseth, 1999; Saino et al., 2007; this study).”
• Responses to climate change in avian migration time - microevolution versus phenotypic plasticity (2007, background): “Climatic conditions at the wintering grounds also influence the timing of migration and arrival in Italy (Saino et al. 2004, 2007, this issue).”
