State‐dependent estuary stopover boosts juvenile salmon growth: Implications for marine survival
Ecosphere, 2023 Stopover habitats allow migratory animals to bolster energy stores prior to the resumption of migration, which can increase an individual's likelihood of survival.

Increased Stopover Duration and Low Body Condition of the Pied Flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca) at an Autumn Stopover Site [PDF]
Animals, 2020 Many long-distance migratory bird species are in decline, of which environmental changes, such as climate change and land-use changes, are thought to be important drivers.

Broad-Scale Weather Patterns Encountered during Flight Influence Landbird Stopover Distributions
Remote Sensing, 2020 The dynamic weather conditions that migrating birds experience during flight likely influence where they stop to rest and refuel, particularly after navigating inhospitable terrain or large water bodies, but effects of weather on stopover patterns remain

Stopover destination attractiveness: A quasi-experimental approach [PDF]
Journal of Destination Marketing & Management, 2021 This study contributes to the emerging field of stopover destination attractiveness. There has been a paucity of published research around the phenomenon of stopovers, including stopover destination image, during long-haul international air travel.

Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management, 2021 This study investigates the interaction effect between previous stopover visitation and assessment orientation on destination loyalty. Using a quasi-experiment, benefiting from a sample of 200 travelers with a self-reported stopover experience in Dubai ...

Fuelling in front of the barrier—are there age based behavioral differences in Garden Warblers Sylvia borin? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 Garden Warblers Sylvia borin were studied during autumn stopover in Crete before crossing the barrier of the Mediterranean Sea and the Sahara Desert. Birds followed with transmitters show extensive stopover periods, which were longer in first-year birds,

Baseline and Stress-Induced Plasma Corticosterone during Long-Distance Migration in the Bar-Tailed Godwit, Limosa lapponica [PDF]
, 2002 The specific roles of corticosterone in promotion of avian migration remain unclear even though this glucocorticosteroid is elevated in many migrating bird species.

Testosterone dynamics of migratory birds during stopover
Scientific ReportsBirds migrating in the spring must balance energy with hormonal preparations in anticipation of the forthcoming breeding season. We investigated the relationships between testosterone, body condition, sociality, territoriality and fueling rates in ...

Understanding the ecological and evolutionary function of stopover in migrating birds
Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2022 Global movement patterns of migratory birds illustrate their fascinating physical and physiological abilities to cross continents and oceans. During their voyages, most birds land multiple times to make so‐called ‘stopovers’. Our current knowledge on the

Artificial light at night is a top predictor of bird migration stopover density
Nature Communications, 2023 As billions of nocturnal avian migrants traverse North America, twice a year they must contend with landscape changes driven by natural and anthropogenic forces, including the rapid growth of the artificial glow of the night sky.
