Tracking Upland Urban Wetland Wildlife health Woodland Search Reset Combining remote sensing and tracking data to quantify species’ cumulative exposure to anthropogenic change Author: Published: 2023 Many long-distance migratory bird species are experiencing severe population declines. These declines are being caused by human-driven changes, such as habitat loss and climate change, but the relative severity of these varies in space and time. Understanding this variation is key to understanding where species might be most exposed to population-limiting effects. This study used 10 years’ worth of satellite data from birds tagged as part of the BTO Cuckoo Tracking Project alongside data on human impacts on the environment (including the location of infrastructure, habitat change and climate change) collected via remote sensing to address these information gaps. 09.10.23 Papers View on journal website The status of the UK breeding European Turtle Dove Streptopelia turtur population in 2021 Author: Published: 2023 The Turtle Dove is a summer migrant to the UK.
