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 Climate change has been associated with both latitudinal and elevational shifts in species’ ranges. The extent, however, to which climate driven recent range alongside other putative drivers remains uncertain. Here, we use the changing distributions of 378 European breeding bird species over 30 years explore dynamics, considering effects climate, land cover, environmental variables, traits on probability local colonisation extinction. On average, shifted their ranges by 2.4 km/year....

Species’ range shifts and local extinctions caused by climate change lead to community composition changes. At large spatial scales, ecological barriers, such as biome boundaries, coastlines, elevation, can influence a community's ability shift in response change. Yet, barriers are rarely considered studies, potentially hindering predictions of biodiversity shifts. We used data from two consecutive European breeding bird atlases calculate the geographic distance direction between communities...

The European Union's Natura 2000 (N2000) is among the largest international networks of protected areas. One its aims to secure status a predetermined set (targeted) bird and butterfly species. However, nontarget species may also benefit from N2000. We evaluated how terrestrial component this network affects abundance nontargeted, more common based on data long-term volunteer-based monitoring programs in 9602 sites for birds 2001 butterflies. In almost half 155 assessed, particularly...

Unsustainable fossil fuel emissions have prompted a global shift towards renewable energy sources, such as wind. This has led to strong expansion of wind power generation infrastructures, often conflicting with biodiversity conservation. Relatively large flying animals, birds and bats, frequently been reported collide turbines, resulting in casualties that can depress population size lead local extinctions. Migratory species move across continents through their year-round displacements may...

Extensive bird monitoring programmes are fundamental for estimating inter-annual population trends using data provided by thousands of observers through standardised fieldwork. Gordo (2018) has proposed that abundance recorded common schemes (e.g. SACRE programme) should be used cautiously due to its potential inaccuracy, because two surveys per spring not enough record the actual maximum number individual birds at a sampling location. We carried out numerical simulations and analysed...
