(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      In order to understand species’ sensitivity to habitat change, we must correctly determine if a species is associated with a habitat or not, and if it is associated, its degree of specialization for that habitat. However, ...

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Climate warming is driving changes in species distributions and community composition. Many species show a so-called climatic debt, where shifts in range have lagged behind faster shifts in temperature isoclines. Inside ...
    • Decomposing the spatial and temporal effects of climate on bird populations in northern European mountains 

      Bradter, Ute; Johnston, Alison; Hochachka, Wesley M.; Soultan, Alaaeldin; Brommer, Jon E.; Gaget, Elie; Kålås, John Atle; Lehikoinen, Aleksi; Lindström, Åke; Piirainen, Sirke; Pavòn-Jordàn, Diego; Pärt, Tomas; Øien, Ingar Jostein; Sandercock, Brett (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The relationships between species abundance or occurrence versus spatial variation in climate are commonly used in species distribution models (SDMs) to forecast future distributions. Under “space-for-time-substitution”, ...
    • The future distribution of wetland birds breeding in Europe validated against observed changes in distribution 

      Soultan, Alaaeldin; Pavòn-Jordàn, Diego; Bradter, Ute; Sandercock, Brett; Hochachka, Wesley M.; Johnston, Alison; Brommer, Jon; Gaget, Elie; Keller, Verena; Knaus, Peter; Aghababyan, Karen; Maxhuni, Qenan; Vintchevski, Alexandre; Nagy, Károly; Raudonikis, Liutauras; Balmer, Dawn E.; Noble, David; Leitão, Domingos; Øien, Ingar Jostein; Shimmings, Paul; Sultanov, Elchin; Caffrey, Brian; Boyla, Kerem; Radišić, Dimitrije; Lindström, Åke; Velevski, Metodija; Pladevall, Clara; Brotons, Lluis; Karel, Šťastný; Rajković, Draženko Z.; Chodkiewicz, Tomasz; Wilk, Tomasz; Tibor, Szép; van Turnhout, Chris; Foppen, Ruud; Burfield, Ian; Vikstrøm, Thomas; Mazal, Vlatka Dumbović; Eaton, Mark; Vorisek, Petr; Lehikoinen, Aleksi; Herrando, Sergi; Kuzmenko, Tatiana; Bauer, Hans-Günther; Kalyakin, Mikhail; Voltzit, Olga; Sjeničić, Jovica; Pärt, Tomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Wetland bird species have been declining in population size worldwide as climate warming and land-use change affect their suitable habitats. We used species distribution models (SDMs) to predict changes in range dynamics ...
    • Positive impacts of important bird and biodiversity areas on wintering waterbirds under changing temperatures throughout Europe and North Africa

      Migratory waterbirds require an effectively conserved cohesive network of wetland areas throughout their range and life-cycle. Under rapid climate change, protected area (PA) networks need to be able to accommodate ...
