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.

Bergmann’s rule (or ‘law’) is one of the oldest in ecology and evolutionary biology, first presented in 1847. This rule states that animals inhabiting colder climates/latitudes are larger, with greater volume than individuals of the same species occupying warmer climates/latitudes.
