When can we trust population trends? A method for quantifying the effects of sampling interval and duration (2019, result): “Møller et al. (2008) and Sanderson et al. (2006) also found a similar, though weak, correlation between trends of migratory birds between 1970-1990 and 1990-2000.”
Uncovering, Collecting, and Analyzing Records to Investigate the Ecological Impacts of Climate Change: A Template from Thoreau's Concord (2012, background): “There is evidence that bird species that are arriving earlier in Europe in the spring, a claim based on changes in their mean arrival dates, have increased in abundance or remained stable, whereas species that are not changing their arrival dates have declined in abundance (Møller et al. 2008).”
The Contemporary Evolution of Fitness (2018, background): “J.M.R. and M.E.W. were partly supported by a European Research Council Starting Grant to J.M.R. A.P.H.’s mom read the text on short notice for typographical errors and grammar.”
Linking Movement Ecology with Wildlife Management and Conservation (2016, background): “A number of bird species have not advanced the timing of their spring migrations in response to climate change, and appear to be declining because the timing of breeding has become mismatched with peak food availability (Møller et al., 2008).”
Declines in British-breeding populations of Afro-Palaearctic migrant birds are linked to bioclimatic wintering zone in Africa, possibly via constraints on arrival time advancement (2012, methodology): “If species are unable to adjust their migration strategy rapidly enough to adapt to changing climatic conditions on breeding grounds, a phenological mismatch between the timing of breeding and food supplies may result (Both & Visser 2001, Møller et al. 2008, Jones & Cresswell 2010).”
Climate impacts on bird and plant communities from altered animal-plant interactions (2012, background): “Much attention to declining populations has focused on how changing climate drives phenological mismatches between animals and their foo”
The decline of Afro-Palaearctic migrants and an assessment of potential causes (2014, neutral): “At the European level, two studies using data from the Birds in Europe (BiE) database (BirdLife International 2004) show that A-P migrants declined markedly in Europe during 1970–1990, but less so between 1990 and 2000 (Sanderson et al. 2006, Møller et al. 2008).”
Timing of seasonal migration in mule deer: effects of climate, plant phenology, and life‐history characteristics (2011, background): “For example, Møller et al. (2008) reported that populations of migratory birds that failed to exhibit a phenological response to climate change were declining.”
Recent population declines in Afro‐Palaearctic migratory birds: the influence of breeding and non‐breeding seasons (2013, background): “…the chick-rearing period and the emergence of key resources (Both et al., 2006; Visser et al., 2006), and studies have suggested that long-distance migrants may not be able to advance their migration timing to match these advances (Both & Visser, 2001; Møller et al., 2008; Ockendon et al., 2012).”
Long-term trends of heron and egret populations in Italy, and the effects of climate, human-induced mortality, and habitat on population dynamics (2009, background): “…importance in determining demographic traits, population trends, and distribution of bird species (Bethke and Nudds 1995; review in Stenseth et al. 2002; BöhningGaese and Lemoine 2004; Crick 2004; Sæther et al. 2004; Both et al. 2006; Møller et al. 2008; Reif et al. 2008; Seavy et al. 2008).”
Hypotheses to explain patterns of population change among breeding bird species in England (2010, background): “Among migrants, those species showing plasticity in timing of migration and arrival times with breeding food resources are more likely to avoid trophic mis-matches (Both et al., 2006; Moller et al., 2008).”
Morphological Adaptations to Migration in Birds (2016, background): “…64,000 km a year by sooty shearwaters Puffinus griseus; Shaffer et al. 2006) and high relevance for ecological, evolutionary, conservation and health considerations (e.g. Webster et al. 2002; Alerstam et al. 2003; Møller et al. 2008; Bowlin et al. 2010; Altizer et al. 2011; Bauer and Hoye 2014).”
Functional and Phylogenetic Approaches to Forecasting Species' Responses to Climate Change (2012, background): “2010) identified traits (body size, overwintering location, and range latitude) exhibiting phylogenetic signal that might account for similar responses among related species, they did not find phylogenetic signal in phenological shifts, which is the best predictor of bird decline (Møller et al. 2008”
