Migration routes of migratory songbirds to the Neotropics were mapped by using light-level geolocators mounted on breeding purple martins and wood thrushes and suggesting high connectivity of breeding and wintering populations.

This range-wide analysis demonstrates the lasting impact breeding latitude can have on migration schedules but also highlights how such timing relationships can reset when individuals reside at non-breeding sites for extended periods of time.

This study suggests that high reproductive effort late in the season does not impose time constraints that delay winter territory acquisition, and carry-over effects from the winter territory to spring migration may be strong in migratory songbirds.
Responses by Central‐Place Foragers to Manipulations of Brood Size: Parent Flickers Respond to Proximate Cues but do not Increase Work Rate

It is hypothesized that parents in species with large home ranges and long nestling periods face energetic limitations that constrain their ability to respond to enlarged broods, and is encouraged to assess foraging behaviour on the landscape to document important trade-offs for parents such as predation risk and energy expenditure while feeding offspring.

Brood age and size influence sex-specific parental provisioning patterns in a sex-role reversed species

The results suggest that both parents responded to the changes in brood demands, but do so governed by different factors, and suggest that the relatively high provisioning by males is related to high male assurance of paternity.
Determinants of parental care and offspring survival during the post-fledging period: males care more in a species with partially reversed sex roles

It is demonstrated that because females can be polyandrous they often desert the brood before males, and that the sexes respond to different cues relating to their energy balance when deciding the length of care given to their offspring, during the post-fledging period.
