Understanding the ecological and evolutionary function of stopover in migrating birds [PDF]
Biological Reviews, 2022 ABSTRACTGlobal 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 functions of stopover is mainly based on the proximate study of departure decisions ...

Birds, 2023 Migratory routes, important stopover sites and wintering grounds for the Turtle Dove, a declining trans-Saharan migratory bird, are known mainly for populations in western and central Europe, but very little is known about birds using the eastern ...

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.

Seasonal survival probabilities suggest low migration mortality in migrating bats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Migration is adaptive if survival benefits are larger than costs of residency. Many aspects of bat migration ecology such as migratory costs, stopover site use and fidelity are largely unknown.

Building for Birds Evaluation Tool: Forest Fragments Used as Stopover Sites by Migrant Birds
EDIS, 2017 Several bird species use forest fragments and trees conserved in built areas as breeding, wintering, and stopover habitat. Scientists have created a Building for Birds online tool to help these birds and the people who appreciate them.

Stopover Ecology of Some Passerines at Ankara (Central Turkey) [PDF]
RING, 2005 Stopover Ecology of Some Passerines at Ankara (Central Turkey) In autumn 2002 we studied little known passerine migration at a woodland patch within the Middle East Technical University (METU) campus in Ankara (Turkey).

Trade-offs, condition dependence and stopover site selection by migrating sandpipers [PDF]
, 2002 Western sandpipers Calidris mauri on southward migration fly over the Gulf of Alaska to the Strait of Georgia, British Columbia, where they stop for a few days to replenish reserves before continuing.
