There is compelling evidence that A fro‐P alaearctic (A‐P) migrant bird populations have
declined in E urope in recent decades, often to a greater degree than resident or short …

For decades, we have observed a major biodiversity crisis impacting all taxa. Avian species
have been particularly well monitored over the long term, documenting their declines. In …

Climate change is predicted to cause widespread declines in biodiversity, but these
predictions are derived from coarse-resolution climate models applied at global scales …

One consequence of climate change is an increasing mismatch between timing of food
requirements and food availability. Such a mismatch is primarily expected in avian long …

In this paper, we tested whether the spatial distribution of a given species in more or less
fragmented and disturbed landscapes depends on the species habitat specialization. We …

Recent rapid climatic changes are associated with dramatic changes in phenology of plants
and animals, with optimal timing of reproduction advancing considerably in the northern …

Global climate change is having devastating effects on habitat structure in coralreef
ecosystems owing to extreme environmental sensitivities and consequent bleaching of …

World leaders have set global and regional targets to reduce the rate of biodiversity loss by
2010, and their relative success, or failure, in meeting these aims will be measured against a …

The biodiversity of coral reefs is dominated by invertebrates. Many of these invertebrates live
in close association with scleractinian corals, relying on corals for food, habitat or settlement …

Coral reefs worldwide are being degraded because of global warming (coral bleaching) and
coastal development (sedimentation and eutrophication). Predicting the risk of species …
