Which is/are the master reference/s to state that bird logging device (i.e. GPS) should not weight more than 3% or 5% of the body weight?

I assume this threshold (3 or 5%) as commonly used in several papers but I'm not sure if there is a world-recognized reference to state this. thanks for suggestions.

You're right! Always use real stopover length (RSL) i.e. the period between first capture and the bird leaving the site, rather than a minimum based on ringing data, as you say :)

Hi Michelangelo,

I recommend you to read the following paper:

Guérin, S., Picard, D., Choquet, R., & Besnard, A. (2017). Advances in methods for estimating stopover duration for migratory species using capture‐NDASH‐recapture data. Ecological Applications.

Cheers
