Low fitness at low latitudes: Wintering in the tropics increases migratory delays and mortality rates in an Arctic breeding shorebird

Reneerkens, Jeroen; Versluijs, Tom S. L.; Piersma, Theunis; Alves, Jose; Boorman, Mark; Corse, Colin; Gilg, Olivier; Hallgrimsson, Gunnar Thor; Lang, Johannes; Loos, Bob; Ntiamoa‐Baidu, Yaa; Nuoh, Alfred A.; Potts, Peter M.; Horn, Job; Lok, Tamar (Wiley, 2019-10-04)

Evolutionary theories of seasonal migration generally assume that the costs of longer migrations are balanced by benefits at the non-breeding destinations. We tested, and rejected, the null hypothesis of equal survival and timing of spring migration ...
Why Are Whimbrels Not Advancing Their Arrival Dates Into Iceland? Exploring Seasonal and Sex-Specific Variation in Consistency of Individual Timing During the Annual Cycle

Carneiro, Camilo; Gunnarsson, Tomas Gretar; Alves, Jose (Frontiers Media SA, 2019-07-02)

The timing of annual events is key for organisms that exploit seasonal resources, as deviations from optimal timing might result in considerable fitness costs. Under strong time selection, individuals likely have fewer suitable strategies available ...
