The global long‐term decline of migrant birds represents an important and challenging issue
for conservation scientists and practitioners. This review draws together recent research …

Tropical land-use change for agricultural expansion is the primary driver of global
biodiversity decline. Efforts to stem this decline often focus on protecting pristine habitats or …

The wood warbler, Phylloscopus sibilatrix (Aves: Passeriformes), is a well-known model
organism for studying bird migration, breeding habitat selection and nest predation. The nest …

Half of all migratory bird species have declined over the past 30 years, with intercontinental
migrants declining faster than their short‐distance migratory counterparts. One potential …

Changes in land-use and climate are threatening migratory animals worldwide. In birds,
declines have been widely documented in long-distance migrants. However, reasons …

Background Basic knowledge of detailed spatiotemporal migration patterns is lacking for
most migratory bird species. Using the smallest available geolocator, we aim to map autumn …

ABSTRACT Capsule: British breeding Wood Warblers Phylloscopus sibilatrix show a
clockwise loop migration incorporating stops in southern Europe, the Sahel, and the humid …

Identifying population drivers of migratory birds requires knowledge of species' ecology
throughout their annual cycle. For most Afro‐Palaearctic migratory species, little is known …

Populations of long‐distance migrant birds are declining but it is unknown what role land
cover change in non‐breeding areas may be playing in this process. Using compositional …

Land use change in sub‐Saharan Africa continues apace, but its role in driving the declines
of Afro‐Palaearctic migrant birds is unknown. This is due partly to a lack of knowledge of …
