Avian population consequences of climate change are most severe for long-distance migrants in seasonal habitats

Abstract: One consequence of climate change is an increasing mismatch between timing of food requirements and food availability. Such a mismatch is primarily expected in avian long-distance migrants because of their complex annual cycle, and in habitats with a seasonal food peak. Here we show that insectivorous long-distance migrant species in The Netherlands declined strongly (1984 -2004) in forests, a habitat characterized by a short spring food peak, but that they did not decline in less seasonal marshes. Also, with… Show more

“…Such 32 mismatching is seen in a range of bird species (e.g. Buse et al 1999;Reuter and Breckling 1999;Stenseth and Mysterud 2002), but population-level consequences appear particularly severe for migrants (Both et al 2009). …”

“…In general terms, species distribution, migratory routes and behaviour of migratory birds are highly dependent upon climatic conditions, especially for long-distance migratory birds subject to seasonal variation in food availability (Both et al, 2010;Gilbert et al, 2008;JonzĂ©n et al, 2006). Rising global temperatures may impact substantially the geographical distribution of migratory birds and the diseases they carry, including HPAI H5N1.…”

“…In particular, post-fledging survival of late fledglings may be lower that of than early fledglings because food availability may decline during the breeding season, such as reported for temperate, deciduous forests (Feeny 1970;Southwood et al 2004;Both et al 2010). However, other ecosystems such as marshes harbor relatively high densities of arthropods throughout the season (Halupka et al 2008;Both et al 2010).…”
