Declines in European bird populations are reported for decades but the direct effect of major anthropogenic pressures on such declines remains unquantified. Causal relationships between and population responses difficult to identify as interact at different spatial scales vary among species. Here, we uncover time-series 170 common species, monitored more than 20,000 sites 28 countries, over 37 y, four widespread pressures: agricultural intensification, change forest cover, urbanisation...
Abstract Around fifteen thousand fieldworkers annually count breeding birds using standardized protocols in 28 European countries. The observations are collected by country-specific and protocols, validated, summarized finally used for the production of continent-wide annual long-term indices population size changes 170 species. Here, we present database provide a detailed summary methodology fieldwork calculation relative change estimates. We also brief overview how data research,...
Abstract Identifying climate refugia is key to effective biodiversity conservation under a changing climate, especially for mountain‐specialist species adapted cold conditions and highly threatened by warming. We combined distribution models (SDMs) with forecasts identify high‐elevation bird ( Lagopus muta , Anthus spinoletta Prunella collaris Montifringilla nivalis ) in the European Alps, where ecological effects of changes are particularly evident predicted intensify. considered future...
Abstract Natural sounds, and bird song in particular, play a key role building maintaining our connection with nature, but widespread declines populations mean that the acoustic properties of natural soundscapes may be changing. Using data-driven reconstructions lieu historical recordings, here we quantify changes soundscape characteristics at more than 200,000 sites across North America Europe. We integrate citizen science monitoring data recordings individual species to reveal pervasive...
In this paper we report on the electronic, elastic, and thermal properties of ${\mathrm{Ti}}_{3}{\mathrm{Si}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Ge}}_{x}{\mathrm{C}}_{2}$. The conductivities, Hall coefficients, magnetoresistances are analyzed within a two-band framework assuming temperature-independent charge carrier concentrations. framework, ${\mathrm{Ti}}_{3}{\mathrm{Si}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Ge}}_{x}{\mathrm{C}}_{2}$ is shown to be compensated material, i.e., concentration electrons nearly...
In the early summer of 2012, sudden mass mortality among songbirds, particularly in greenfinches (Chloris chloris, syn: Carduelis chloris) was observed Austria, which caused by protozoan parasite Trichomonas gallinae. This pathogen induced fibrinonecrotic ingluvitis and/or esophagitis, leading to impairment food intake and ultimately death due starvation. The successfully detected within lesions polymerase chain reaction (PCR) chromogenic situ hybridization. epizootic resulted a significant...
We have completed a systematic investigation of the structural and magnetic properties ${\mathrm{CaB}}_{6}$ over wide range temperatures. Unlike conventional systems, mechanism for magnetism in this compound appears to be intimately connected defects. present direct evidence that introducing defects not only enhances magnetization but also increases ordering temperature.
