Aims: To examine changes in the timing of migration of 10 migratory bird species (six long-distance and four short-distance migrants) during autumn passage in central Spain, comparing two periods during recent warming over the most part of Europe (1987 - 1990 and 2001 - 2005). Location: Monte de Valdelatas, near Madrid, central Spain. Methods: The number of weekly captures in mist-nets from late August to late October between the two studied periods was compared by fitting general linear…

Life history events of the Eurasian sparrowhawk Accipiter nisus in a changing climate

Changes in sparrowhawk migration phenology may affect the migration behaviour of many prey species, and the breeding success of sparrowhawks has increased significantly over the study period, however more likely caused by other factors than climate change, such as reduced exposure to organochlorine pollutants.

partial-migration emerge as the less known system and future research efforts on this topic are expected to be especially fruitful, including some examples of concrete study cases on the topic of adaptive potential of migratory behaviour.

Continental scale analysis of bird migration timing: influences of climate and life history traits—a generalized mixture model clustering and discriminant approach

The strength of phenological trends was more strongly related to local climate variables than to broad-scale drivers (Southern Oscillation Index), highlighting the importance of precipitation as a driver of movement in Australian birds.

Mediterranean island biodiversity and climate change: the last 10,000 years and the future

Abstract Mediterranean islands (MI) are hotspots of global biodiversity and lie in one of the most susceptible to climate change (CC) areas of the world; a big challenge for any conservation…

Impact of climate change on plant phenology in Mediterranean ecosystems

Climate change has shifted plant phenology in the Mediterranean region as spring events are changing more than autumn events as they are more sensitive to climate and are also undergoing the greatest alterations of climate relative to other seasons.

Climate change effects on migratory birds and on the ecology and behaviour of the willow warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus)

Recent global climate change is influencing the behaviour and ecology of species worldwide. Birds are typical systems to study in this context, as they are often migratory and thus subjected to a v…

Timing of autumn bird migration under climate change: advances in long–distance migrants, delays in short–distance migrants

Long–term changes in the timing of autumn migration in birds, a key event in the annual cycle limiting the reproductive period, are investigated, using data spanning a 42–year period to analyse long–term change in the passage of 65 species of migratory birds through Western Europe.

Changes in the timing of spring and autumn migration in North American migrant passerines during a period of global warming

The spring FAD results are consistent with those of Butler, but when the whole migration is considered, change is far from universal in spring and is in fact more substantial and complex in autumn.

North Atlantic Oscillation and timing of spring migration in birds

All but one species, passing Helgoland en route to their breeding areas (mainly in Scandinavia), show a trend towards earlier msp–time, which is significant in 7 short/medium– distance migrants and 10 long–distance migrants, which can explain differences and similarities in spring migration strategies, as well as migration routes within Europe.

North Atlantic Oscillation timing of long‐ and short‐distance migration

Summary 1 The timing of migration is associated with survival and reproductive risks of migrating species. Hence, variation in factors influencing this timing, such as climate, may have…

The timing of arrival has advanced in relation to increasing winter temperatures in sub-Saharan Africa, whereas the timing of departure has advanced after elevated summer temperatures in Oxfordshire, demonstrating that migratory phenology is quite likely to be affected by global climate change.

Adjustment to climate change is constrained by arrival date in a long-distance migrant bird

It is shown that the migratory pied flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuca has advanced its laying date over the past 20 years, but this temporal shift has been insufficient, as indicated by increased selection for earlier breeding over the same period.

Ecological conditions during winter predict arrival date at the breeding quarters in a trans‐Saharan migratory bird

As a result of increased frequency of second broods determined by earlier arrival, the number of fledged offspring per season was larger after African winters with good in comparison to poor ecological conditions for barn swallows.

Climate change and fitness components of a migratory bird breeding in the Mediterranean region

It is shown that some fitness components of pied flycatchers are suffering from climate change in two of the southernmost European breeding populations, and the mismatch between the timing of peak food supply and nestling demand caused by recent climate change might result in a reduction of parental energy expenditure.

Climate change and bird phenology: a long‐term study in the Iberian Peninsula

Many studies in recent years have demonstrated long‐term temporal trends in biological parameters that can only be explained by climate change. Bird phenology has received great attention, as it…
