Why are bird migration dates shifting? A review of weather and climate effects on avian migratory phenology (2007, background): “In other studies, temporal trends of climatic variables were assessed, but there were no explicit relationships between phenological variables and climatic ones (Jenkins & Watson 2000, Butler 2003, Gordo & Sanz 2005, Beaumont et al. 2006).”
Travelling through a warming world: climate change and migratory species. (2009, background): “Migrants in a broad range of taxonomic groups, including birds (e.g. Hüppop & Hüppop 2003, Beaumont et al. 2006, Gordo 2007), cephalopods (Sims et al. 2001), fish (Sims et al. 2004), and mammals (Fryxell & Sinclair 1988), exhibit changing migration phenology in response to both local and regional…”
Australia's Biodiversity and Climate Change (2010, background): “Earlier arrival and later departure times of migratory birds in Australian breeding and feeding grounds (Beaumont et al. 2006; Chambers 2005, 2008; Chambers et al. 2005); changes in number of breeding seasons per year (forest kingfishers Todiramphus macleayii) and altered patterns of over-wintering ”
Response of Domestic Animals to Climate Challenges (2009, background): “has had little negative impact, at least to date (Johnston and Schmitz 1997; Beaumont et al. 2006), whereas in other cases the impact is largely due to changes in vegetation (Johnston and Schmitz 1997).”
