State of the world's raptors: Distributions, threats, and conservation recommendations (2018, background): “overall less threatened or declining than non-migratory raptors, similar to avian migrants in general (Kirby et al., 2008).”
Why do birds migrate? A macroecological perspective (2015, methodology): “Spatial autocorrelation was detected in all the models (Table S3 in Appendix S2), so we fitted spatial autoregressive models (SARs), a generalization of linear models that allow the explicit inclusion of spatial autocorrelation (Kissling & Carl, 2008).”
Preliminary assessment of the scope and scale of illegal killing and taking of birds in the Mediterranean (2016, background): “Overexploitation is one of the main drivers of bird extinctions globally (BirdLife International 2013 ), and is the second most significant threat (after habitat loss/ degradation, driven primarily by unsustainable agriculture) to migratory birds (Kirby et al. 2008 ).”
Roles of Raptors in a Changing World: From Flagships to Providers of Key Ecosystem Services (2016, background): “Along with waterfowl (Kirby et al., 2008) and reptiles, raptors have been the group with a higher level of protection at the European level in different reference texts (table 1).”
Effect of urbanization on the avifauna in a tropical metropolitan area (2011, background): “…(Wilcove 1985; Johnston and Hagan 1992; Donovan et al. 1995), tropical wintering habitats (Terborgh 1989; Faaborg and Arendt 1992; Rappole and McDonald 1994; Norris et al. 2004), and loss of habitat on stopover sites (Rappole et al. 1993; Hutto 2000; Mehlman et al. 2005; Kirby et al. 2008).”
Migratory Animals Couple Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning Worldwide (2014, background): “For instance, an estimated 1855 bird species (19% of extant species) are migratory (3).”
Morphological Adaptations to Migration in Birds (2016, background): “Migratory behaviour is widespread across all animals, nonetheless among birds a disproportionately high number of species are currently considered migratory (Kirby et al. 2008).”
