Linking Weather and Phenology to Stopover Dynamics of a Long-Distance Migrant

Carneiro, Camilo; Gunnarsson, Tomas Gretar; Alves, Jose (Frontiers Media SA, 2020-06-04)

For many migratory species, migration can represent a significant part of the annual cycle and the strategies used to move between the breeding and non-breeding areas vary considerably. Weather conditions are important during migration, particularly ...
Population regulation in a sub-Arctic wader: insights from variation in breeding density

Cerezo-Araujo, Maite (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, 2024-05)

Population numbers result from the combined effect of exogenous (weather, food, predation, anthropogenic impact) and endogenous (behaviour, density) factors on the population, which often act simultaneously resulting in spatial variation in population ...
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 ...
