reports Access via Natural England Timing is critical: consequences of asynchronous migration for the performance and destination of a long-distance migrant Author: Published: 2022 There is growing evidence that climate change is shifting the timing of migration for migrant birds, but we have surprisingly little information on what these changes mean for them. The timing and duration of a migratory flight is likely to determine the environmental conditions that an individual will encounter on its journey, and this may have important consequences. It may encounter unfavourable weather conditions or discover that a traditional stopover site doesn’t hold the expected resources, because the bird has arrived too early or too late. 20.06.22 Papers Combining host and vector data informs emergence and potential impact of an Usutu virus outbreak in UK wild birds Author: Published: 2022 The identification of the Usutu virus in Greater London in the summer of 2020 raises questions about the extent of the incursion and its impacts on wild bird populations. 18.06.22 Papers View this paper online Introducing a common taxonomy to support learning from failure in conservation Author: Published: 2022 13.06.22 Papers Bioclimatic context of species' populations determines community stability Author: Published: 2022 Projected increases in the magnitude and frequency of extreme weather events are likely to have important consequences for species and the wider communities of which they are a part. Understanding the impacts of such events on the complex relationships that exist between the species within a particular ecosystem, and which themselves influence the stability and functioning of that ecosystem, is a conservation priority. 25.05.22 Papers View on journal website Recommendations to enhance breeding bird diversity in managed plantation forests determined using LiDAR Author: Published: 2022 Tree planting can contribute to the fight against both climate change and biodiversity loss if forests are planned and managed well. Forest structure data, collected using remote sensing technology, combined with bird surveys has been used to test which management regimes maximise bird diversity in managed plantations. Forests with stands of a greater variety of ages are consistently more biodiverse, suggesting that forest managers should prioritise maintaining a diversity of stand ages. 19.05.22 Papers Estimating the carbon footprint of citizen science biodiversity monitoring Author: Published: 2022 Understanding the impacts of climate change relies on an evidence base generated by the thousands of volunteers who participate in biodiversity monitoring. However, survey participation often carries its own carbon footprint, especially where participants travel to and from survey sites by car. Whilst it is essential that we have accurate information about how wildlife is faring in this changing world, we also need to be mindful of any side effects of our scientific activities. A key step is to estimate the emissions produced during biodiversity monitoring. 18.05.22 Papers Pagination First page First Previous page Previous … Tudalen 25 Tudalen 26 Tudalen 27 Tudalen 28 Tudalen 29 Tudalen 30 Tudalen 31 Tudalen 32 Tudalen 33 … Next page Next Last page Last
