        Impact of future climate change and land-use change on habitat suitability for a long-distance avian migrant under diverse socioeconomic-emission scenarios

        Author: Lathouwers, M., Beenaerts, N., Evens, R., Tom Artois, T., Conway, G., Henderson, I., Shewring, M., Cross, T., Ulenaers, E. & Dendoncker, N.

        During the current period of accelerating change in both climate and environmental conditions many birds species are having to adapt to new conditions. While sedentary species only have to adapt to changes in one location, migrants have to contend with multiple changes throughout the annual cycle.

        The use of monitoring data from north-west Europe as indicators for the health of Arctic-breeding waterbird populations

        Author: Thaxter, C.B., Holt, C.A., Austin, G.E., Reneerkens, J., Koffijberg, K., Hornman, M., Frost, T., Calbrade, N., Mitchell, C., Brides, K., Hearn, R.D., Wotton, S.R., Burton, N.H.K., Pearce-Higgins, J.W. & Stroud, D.A.

        The Arctic is warming faster than anywhere on the planet. Substantial ecological changes are occurring such as habitat loss and disruption to ecosystems. It is therefore urgent to better understand Arctic biodiversity to develop effective conservation strategies, yet such vast remote areas are challenging places to monitor, both practically and financially. As a solution, this study uses monitoring data from Arctic-breeding waterbird species on their wintering grounds to indicate potential changes occurring further north in the Arctic.
