1. Global-scale environmental degradation and its links with non-renewable fossil fuels have
led to an increasing interest in generating electricity from renewable energy resources …

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 …

Shorebirds are the most visible inhabitants of coastal wetlands worldwide. Many undertake
spectacularly long flights between their wintering and breeding grounds, embodying the …

Extreme climatic events (ECE s) are predicted to become more frequent as the climate
changes. A rapidly increasing number of studies–though few on animals–suggest that the …

In this review, we summarize available data on nest success, chick survival and reproductive
output, and adult and juvenile survival of five meadow breeding waders in Europe: Eurasian …

Detecting coherent signals of climate change is best achieved by conducting expansive,
long‐term studies. Here, using counts of waders (Charadrii) collected from ca. 3500 sites …

In the last~ 15 yr, frequent recruitment failures in the main bivalve species in the western
Wadden Sea led to insufficient food supply for some specialised bird species, sharpening …

Many shorebirds travel over large sections of the globe during the course of their annual
cycle and use habitats in many different biomes and climate zones. Increasing knowledge of …

We review the conservation issues facing migratory shorebird populations that breed in
temperate regions and use wetlands in the non‐breeding season. Shorebirds are excellent …

Climate change affects both the mean and variability of climatic variables, but their relative
impact on the dynamics of populations is still largely unexplored. Based on a long‐term …
