New article: Large scale forest change and bird dynamics

In this new article, Assu Gil and coworkers have been analysing bird change data and forest dynamics estimated from forest inventory data and conclude that forest maturation is currently driving forest bird distribution changes at the regional scale in Catalonia.Processes derived from global change such […]

New article: Distribution models may fail when apply in a temporal perspective

Species distribution models should be used with caution! Land-cover changes from the last decades are leading to important declines in habitat quality, giving rise to changes in bird species distribution all over the world. However, land-cover changes result from a variety of different processes, and […]

New article: Land abandonment in the Mediterranean and changes in bird distributions

Land abandonment is driving recent birds population changes in the North –western Mediterranean. A new article in the journal Biological Conservation issued from the collaboration with the Montpellier group lead by Jean Louis Martin and Clelia Sirami and Bird Life (Ian Burfield) has analysed a […]

New article: Fires and changes in bird distribution of an open habitat bird

Wildfires and the expansion of threatened farmland birds In a new article in the Journal of Applied Ecology we show that the recent impact of wildfires in the Mediterranean is starting to have major effects on the distribution of open habitat birds decreasing elsewhere in […]
