Understanding the processes that lead to species extinctions is vital for lessening pressures
on biodiversity. While species diversity, presence and abundance are most commonly used …

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 …

Climate change has been shown to cause poleward range shifts of species. These shifts are
typically demonstrated using presence–absence data, which can mask the potential …

Many bird species are advancing the timing of their egg-laying in response to a warming
climate. Little is known, however, of whether this advancement affects the respective length …

Impacts of long‐term climate shifts on the dynamics of intact communities within species
ranges are not well understood. Here, we show that warming and drying of the …

Although animal population dynamics have often been correlated with fluctuations in
precipitation, causal relationships have rarely been demonstrated in wild birds. We …

The ongoing climate change has improved our understanding of how climate affects the
reproduction of animals. However, the interaction between food availability and climate on …

When many environmental changes take place simultaneously, one of the first challenges
for conservation efforts is to identify the species and environments that are in the most need …

Raptors are limited by suitable breeding habitat, and they have specific nest-site
requirements. Habitats of high quality presumably have the resources required to sustain …

Aims Understanding fluctuations in plant reproductive investment can constitute a key
challenge in ecology, conservation and management. Masting events of trees (ie the …
