From the red grouse to the Ethiopian bush-crow, bird populations
around the world can provide us with vital insights into the
effects of climate change on species and ecosystems. They are among
the best studied and monitored of organisms, yet many are already
under threat of extinction as a result of habitat loss,
overexploitation and pollution. Providing a single source of
information for students, scientists, practitioners and
policy-makers, this book begins with a critical review of the
existing impacts of climate change on birds, including changes in
the timing of migration and breeding and effects on bird
populations around the world. The second part considers how
conservationists can assess potential future impacts, quantifying
how extinction risk is linked to the magnitude of global change and
synthesising the evidence in support of likely conservation
responses. The final chapters assess the threats posed by efforts
to reduce the magnitude of climate change.
