Recent population declines in Afro‐Palaearctic migratory birds: the influence of breeding and non‐breeding seasons (2013, background): “…conditions have been linked to changes in the demography and distribution of some species, for example, through changes in the frequency of severe weather events (Frederiksen et al., 2008) and in the availability of breeding season food resources (Both et al., 2006; Pearce-Higgins et al., 2010).”
The performance of protected areas for biodiversity under climate change (2015, background): “For example, a key food source during the breeding season for the golden plover Pluvialis apricaria at their equatorwards range boundary is adult craneflies (Diptera: Tipulidae) (Pearce-Higgins et al., 2010).”
Climate-driven declines in arthropod abundance restructure a rainforest food web (2018, background): “(97) also analyzed the diets of 17 upland, insectivorous bird species in the United Kingdom, calculated a climatesensitivity index for their prey, and showed that the index was correlated with recent negative population trends.”
