The pivotal question in the debate on the ecological effects of climate change is whether
species will be able to adapt fast enough to keep up with their changing environment. If we …

Collaborative research by networks of amateurs has had a major role in ornithology and
conservation science and will continue to do so. It has been important in establishing the …

In light of the current rising mean temperatures and fluctuations in temperature extremes
involved in global climate change, a cause-and-effect understanding of the temperature …

Climate change is predicted to cause changes in species distributions and several studies
report margin range shifts in some species. However, the reported changes rarely concern a …

Long-distance migrations are among the wonders of the natural world, but this multi-taxon
review shows that the characteristics of species that undertake such movements appear to …

The benefits of protected areas (PAs) for biodiversity have been questioned in the context of
climate change because PAs are static, whereas the distributions of species are dynamic …

Climate change will alter freshwater ecosystems but specific effects will vary among regions
and the type of water body. Here, we give an integrative review of the observed and …

From the red grouse to the Ethiopian bush-crow, bird populations around the world can
provide us with vital insights into the effects of climate change on species and ecosystems …

Millions of birds migrate to and from the Arctic each year, but rapid climate change in the
High North could strongly affect where species are able to breed, disrupting migratory …

Detecting coherent signals of climate change is best achieved by conducting expansive,
long‐term studies. Here, using counts of waders (Charadrii) collected from ca. 3500 sites …
