Climate change causes rapid changes in the distribution and site abundance of birds in winter (2008, background): “A significant, albeit imprecisely quantified, proportion of redshank overwintering in northwest Europe are of the robusta race, which breeds in Iceland and the Faeroes, whereas the majority of other species (with the exception of Knot) breed in the Fenno-Scandia and Russia (Delany & Scott, 2006).”
Current estimates of goose population sizes in western Europe, a gap analysis and assessment of trends (2019, unknown): “Here, we exploit this association and knowledge to update our estimates of the population size and trends of Western Palearctic geese from those of Delany & Scott (2006), highlighting the gaps in our current knowledge and areas in need of particular improvement.”
Key conservation issues for migratory land- and waterbird species on the world's major flyways (2008, background): “Delany and Scott (2006) cited land-use changes and resulting habitat destruction as the most frequent known cause of population decrease in waterbirds, highlighting concerns in Asia where the ‘‘…frantic pace of economic development is clearly having adverse impacts on the environment, including…”
