Viability of an endangered population of ortolan buntings: The effect of a skewed operational sex ratio (2006, background): “All rights reserved ax: +47 64948502. o (Ø. Steifetten). identified in many cases (Newton, 2004), and measures to halt or reverse these impacts have been taken, some populations still decrease in numbers, suggesting that other factors could be preventing population growth.”

BirdTrends 2014: trends in numbers, breeding success and survival for UK breeding birds (2014, background): “Hudson 1992, Newton 2004), which prompted the move of the species from the green to the amber list in 2002.”
Biodiversity and extinction (2007, neutral): “…most abundant species), but are now in decline as a consequence of the intensification of agricultural activities and the resultant paucity of available resources (eg, Fuller et al., 1995; Murphy, 2003; BirdLife International, 2004; Gregory et al., 2004; Newton, 2004; Eaton et al., 2006).”
Rise of the generalists: evidence for climate driven homogenization in avian communities (2012, background): “The BBS has shown that British bird populations continue to 111 show long-term declines for several species groups, with climate and land-use change the 112 likely drivers (Newton, 2004; Hewson & Noble 2009; Baillie et al., 2010).”
The application of predictive modelling of species distribution to biodiversity conservation (2007, background): “In Europe, for example, the simultaneous abandonment of traditional agriculture (areas that harbour several endangered species) and the intensification of agriculture on more profitable lands have led to a net decrease of biodiversity (Donald et al ., 2002; Newton, 2004).”
Population trends of common breeding birds in Germany 1990–2018 (2020, background): “Farmland birds have long been in the focus of European conservationists as declines reach back to the 1950s (Newton 2004).”
Long-Term Trends in Bird Populations: A Review of Patterns and Potential Drivers in North America and Europe (2013, background): “Unlike clear causal links between habitat changes and bird population growth (e.g. Newton 2004), the mechanisms of the climate change impacts on bird abundance remain poorly understood (Knudsen et al. 2011).”
Managing predation on ground-nesting birds: The effectiveness of nest exclosures (2007, background): “Habitat loss and fragmentation are considered the major causes for the decline (Senner and Howe, 1984; Donald et al., 2001; Newton, 2004).”
Intensified agricultural use of grasslands reduces growth and survival of precocial shorebird chicks (2013, background): “Intensification of grassland use, mainly for dairy farming, is characterized by lowering of groundwater tables, strongly increased use of fertilizers and regular re-seeding with fast-growing protein-rich grass species, leading to higher stocking densities in some areas and earlier and more frequent ”
