• Recent population declines in Afro‐Palaearctic migratory birds: the influence of breeding and non‐breeding seasons (2013, background): “During the late 1960s and early 1970s, many of these species experienced high rates of population decline (Thaxter et al., 2010), which have been linked to declines in survival associated with droughts in the Sahel (Møller, 1989; Peach et al., 1991; Szep, 1995).”
• The decline of Afro-Palaearctic migrants and an assessment of potential causes (2014, unknown): “Mismatch has also been suggested as one of the possible causes of the relationship between timing of migrant declines in the UK and wintering latitude, with species wintering further south tending to exhibit more recent declines (Thaxter et al. 2010, Ockendon et al. 2012).”
• 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): “Although previous studies found that declines of arid zone species were only evident in the late 1960s–1980s (Hewson & Noble 2009, Thaxter et al. 2010), and this study examines population changes after this period.”
• A global threats overview for Numeniini populations: synthesising expert knowledge for a group of declining migratory birds (2017, background): “More detailed analyses of population trends in well-studied European populations suggests that habitat-specialists, ground-nesting species and long-distance migrants are among the species with the most negative population trends (Julliard et al. 2003, Thaxter et al. 2010, Sullivan et al. 2015).”
