Three observations
• No significant migratory activities during summer or winter season.
• Almost all birds migrate during spring and autumn seasons.
• No significant birth activities during autumn and winter seasons.

Seasonal activities
• Spring migration : birds fly from the winter patch to the summer patch.
• Summer breeding : birds give births to newborns.
• Autumn migration : birds fly from the summer patch to the winter patch.
• Winter refuge : birds stay at the winter patch until spring comes.

Spring migration
• An: bird population at winter patch when spring migration starts.
• Bn: bird population at summer patch when spring migration ends.

Threshold theorem
“Either there is a globally attracting periodic solution, or the bird populationbecomes extinct.”

Numerical phenomenon
“Repeated deadly outbreaks of H5N1 on stopovers during the autumn migrationof bar-headed geese could lead to a larger reduction in the size of the equilibriumbird population compared with that obtained after repeated outbreaks during thespring migration.”

Three questions
• Do we have explicit formulas for the transition functions f1 and f3 of springand autumn migrations in discrete system?
• How to tie the threshold condition to model parameters explicitly (rather thanthe abstract spectral radius of a certain monodromy operator)?
• Can we provide any mathematical justification for the numerical phenomenonthat autumn disease outbreak is comparably more serious than spring?

Answers
• We approximate the continuous system by a discrete system which providesexplicit formulas for transition functions f1 and f3.
• The threshold of the continuous system can be approximated by that ofdiscrete system.
• Sensitivity analysis demonstrates that autumn disease outbreak is more seriousthan spring.

Three basic assumptions
• The migratory activity is insignificant during summer breeding season andwinter refuge time;
• The population left in the winter refuge site (resp. summer breeding site) afterspring (resp. autumn) migration is comparably negligible;
• The breeding activity does not occur during autumn and winter seasons.

Notations
According to seasonal activities of migratory birds, we divide a year by fourseasons:
t0spring(T1)−→ t1
summer(T2)−→ t2autumn(T3)−→ t3

Sensitivity analysis
• Suppose Ms,i =Ma,j and µs,i = µa,j for some i and j. We have from theinequality
| dR0
dµs,i| < | dR0
dµa,j|
that R0 is more sensitive to the change of µa,j than that of µs,i.
• Therefore, the bird population is more vulnerable to a serious disease occurringat a stopover during the autumn migration.
• This provides a mathematical explanation for the phenomenon observed fromnumerical simulation by Bourouiba et al. (2010).

Conclusion
• Mathematical model approximates biological activities.
• Sometimes, it is difficult to analyze a complicated model.
• If there are some small (or large) quantities in the complicated model, we couldapproximate it by a simpler model via asymptotic analysis.
