The decline of Afro-Palaearctic migrants and an assessment of potential causes (2014, unknown): “The Sahel drought has been frequently linked to declines of many A-P migrants, including those dependent on both seasonal freshwater and terrestrial habitats in these non-breeding areas (e.g. Peach et al. 1991, Zwarts et al. 2009).”
Recent population declines in Afro‐Palaearctic migratory birds: the influence of breeding and non‐breeding seasons (2013, background): “, 2010), which have been linked to declines in survival associated with droughts in the Sahel (Møller, 1989; Peach et al., 1991; Szep, 1995).”
Climate change, migratory connectivity and changes in laying date and clutch size of the pied flycatcher (2006, background): “It is known to have an impact on population sizes of some migrant birds in Europe, indicating that it is a meaningful indicator of environmental conditions at wintering grounds (Peach et al. 1991, Szép 1995).”
The paradox of Spoonbill migration : Most birds travel to where survival rates are lowest (2011, unknown): “2006) and survival (Peach et al. 1991; Schaub et al. 2005).”
Linking fluctuations in rainfall to nonbreeding season performance in a long-distance migratory bird, Setophaga ruticilla (2007, background): “Rainfall and temperature on the nonbreeding quarters in Africa have been shown to influence abundance, first arrival dates, and annual survival at breeding areas in Europe (Møller 1989, Kanyamibwa et al. 1990, Peach et al. 1991, Szép 1995, Barbraud et al. 1999, Gordo et al. 2005).”
BirdTrends 2014: trends in numbers, breeding success and survival for UK breeding birds (2014, background): “The CES, which provides the biggest Sedge Warbler sample, shows the most recent three of the same troughs.”
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, background): “…and Sand Martins Riparia riparia, has been shown to be affected by the amount of Sahelian rainfall in the preceding year, demonstrating environmental conditions in wintering areas can have population-level effects, particularly during periods of drought (Peach et al. 1991, Szép 1995).”
