Bird extirpations and community dynamics in an Andean cloud forest over 100 years of land‐use change

RD Palacio, GH Kattan, SL Pimm - Conservation Biology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Long‐term studies to understand biodiversity changes remain scarce—especially so for
tropical mountains. We examined changes from 1911 to 2016 in the bird community of the …

Deforestation, urbanisation and seasonality: interacting effects on a regional bird assemblage

CP Catterall, MB Kingston, K Park, S Sewell - Biological conservation, 1998 - Elsevier
We assessed the effects of conversion of eucalypt forests and woodlands (bushland) to
cleared or developed land on bird communities in the rapidly urbanising lowlands of south …

Long-term changes in populations of rainforest birds in the Australia Wet Tropics bioregion: A climate-driven biodiversity emergency

SE Williams, A de la Fuente - PLoS One, 2021 - journals.plos.org
Many authors have suggested that the vulnerability of montane biodiversity to climate
change worldwide is significantly higher than in most other ecosystems. Despite the …

Synergistic effects of climate and land cover: grassland birds are more vulnerable to climate change

MA Jarzyna, B Zuckerberg, AO Finley, WF Porter - Landscape Ecology, 2016 - Springer
Context Climate change is not occurring over a homogeneous landscape and the quantity
and quality of available land cover will likely affect the way species respond to climate …

Climate warming and the rainforest birds of the Australian Wet Tropics: Using abundance data as a sensitive predictor of change in total population size

LP Shoo, SE Williams, JM Hero - Biological Conservation, 2005 - Elsevier
Global average surface temperatures have increased rapidly over the last 100 years and
there is accumulating evidence that climate change is already causing shifts in species' …

Temporal variation in bird assemblages: How representative is a one‐year snapshot?

M Maron, A Lill, DM Watson, RM Nally - Austral Ecology, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Bird assemblages generally are no longer regarded as stable entities, but rather as
fluctuating in response to many factors. Australia's highly variable climate is likely to result in …

Why have birds in the woodlands of southern Australia declined?

HA Ford, GW Barrett, DA Saunders, HF Recher - Biological Conservation, 2001 - Elsevier
This paper reviews the reasons why so many species of birds have declined in the eucalypt
woodlands and associated habitats across the agricultural zone of southern Australia. The …

Influence of climate change on the abundance, distribution and phenology of woodland bird species in temperate regions

DI Leech, HQP Crick - Ibis, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
There is now overwhelming evidence that an increase in the concentration of greenhouse
gases in the Earth's atmosphere has caused global temperatures to increase by 0.6° C since …
