Climate change and population declines in a long-distance migratory bird (2006, methodology): “One possible reason why pied ﬂycatchers have not adjusted sufﬁciently to climate change is that their arrival from their wintering grounds has not advanced and probably acts as a constraint on laying dates 4,19 .”
Potential impacts of climatic change on the breeding and non‐breeding ranges and migration distance of European Sylvia warblers (2009, background): “There is evidence that migratory species are already responding to recent climatic changes (Both & Visser, 2001; Jonzén et al., 2002; Walther et al., 2002; Cotton, 2003; Jenni & Kéry, 2003; Lemoine & Böhning-Gaese, 2003; Marra et al., 2005; Robinson et al., 2005; Both et al., 2006; Zalakevicius…”
Survey trends of North American shorebirds: population declines or shifting distributions? (2007, background): “…the 20th century is thought to have led to changes in distribution and arrival dates of birds (Murphy-Klassen et al. 2005), and more recent climate change is thought to be affecting distribution and breeding performance of birds (Sorenson et al. 1998, Crick and Sparks 1999, Both and Visser 2001).”
The role of climate in limiting European resident bird populations (2003, positive): “While there of course is uncertainty in these models and predictions, many birds have already adjusted their onset of breeding to the increased spring temperatures (e.g. Crick et al., 1997; Both & Visser, 2001).”
