There is compelling evidence that A fro‐P alaearctic (A‐P) migrant bird populations have
declined in E urope in recent decades, often to a greater degree than resident or short …

From the red grouse to the Ethiopian bush-crow, bird populations around the world can
provide us with vital insights into the effects of climate change on species and ecosystems …

The populations of migratory bird species that breed in Europe and overwinter in sub-
Saharan Africa are declining considerably faster than those of nonmigratory resident …

Aim Global declines in the populations of migratory species have been attributed largely to
climate change and anthropogenic habitat change. However, the relative contribution of …

In most long‐distance migratory birds, juveniles migrate without their parents and so are
likely to lack detailed knowledge of where to go. This suggests the potential for stochasticity …

Aim Recent, rapid population declines in many Afro‐Palaearctic migratory bird species have
focussed attention on changing conditions within Africa. However, processes influencing …

Understanding what drives or prevents long‐distance migrants to respond to environmental
change requires basic knowledge about the wintering and breeding grounds, and the timing …

The timing of migration is one of the key life‐history parameters of migratory birds. It is
expected to be under strong selection, to be sensitive to changing environmental conditions …

The global long‐term decline of migrant birds represents an important and challenging issue
for conservation scientists and practitioners. This review draws together recent research …

Increased human-induced environmental changes and global warming alter bird migration
timing and routes. Recently, many Holarctic species, including white storks, Ciconia ciconia …
