Time versus energy minimization migration strategy varies with body size and season in long-distance migratory shorebirds

Abstract Background Migrants have been hypothesised to use different migration strategies between seasons: a time-minimization strategy during their pre-breeding migration towards the breeding grounds and an energy-minimization strategy during their post-breeding migration towards the wintering grou...
