The effect of local and landscape-level characteristics on the abundance of forest birds in early-successional habitats during the post-fledging season in western Massachusetts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Many species of mature forest-nesting birds ("forest birds") undergo a pronounced shift in habitat use during the post-fledging period and move from their forest nesting sites into areas of early-successional vegetation.

The role of development, parental behavior, and nestmate competition in fledging of nestling tree swallows. [PDF]
, 2000 .-Fledging (i.e. leaving the nest) in altricial birds is a major step toward independence. The timing of this important event may be influenced by nestling development, parental behavior, and sibling interactions.

Habitat use and characteristics of Connecticut Warbler during the nesting and post-fledging period
Journal of Field Ornithology, 2023 Widespread declines in breeding bird populations have been documented across North America since the 1970s, and concerns about loss of avian biodiversity are growing.

The effect of nest temperature on growth and survival in juvenile Great Tits Parus major
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 For birds, maintaining an optimal nest temperature is critical for early‐life growth and development. Temperatures deviating from this optimum can affect nestling growth and fledging success with potential consequences on survival and lifetime ...

Association of Sex, Fledging Date, and Sibling Relationships with Post-Fledging Movements of Burrowing Owls in a Nonmigratory Population in the Imperial Valley, California [PDF]
Natal dispersal is an important driver of population and colonization dynamics, yet factors that affect timing and distance of post-fledging movements are poorly understood.

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012 Research conducted near the time a species is listed as threatened or endangered can help inform management guidelines. However, these studies are typically limited in temporal and spatial scope and typically address a limited set of ecological questions.

Satellite telemetry suggests significant regional variation in post-fledging survival of Adélie penguinsSatellite telemetry suggests significant regional variation in post-fledging survival of Adélie penguins [PDF]
Royal Society Open SciencePost-fledging periods represent one of the most vulnerable stages for juvenile seabirds. Adélie penguins Pygoscelis adeliae must quickly develop foraging skills while minimizing predation risk immediately after fledging.
