The team also created the first ever large-scale map of hunting pressure across the region.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 103 species of migrating birds were studied, including many rapidly declining species like the Turtle Dove and the Common Cuckoo, using large-scale datasets.<\/p>\n<p>The team calculated &#8220;threat scores&#8221; for factors such as habitat loss and climate change, across breeding locations, as well as non-breeding ranges.<\/p>\n<p>They then explored the relationships between these threat scores and bird population trends calculated from 1985 to 2018 by the Pan-European Common Bird Monitoring Scheme (PECBMS).<\/p>\n<p>Dr. C,laire Buchan from UEA&#8217;s School of Biological Sciences, said: &#8220;We found that human modification of the landscape in the birds&#8217; distribution ranges in Europe, Africa and Western Asia is associated with declining numbers of over 100 Afro-Eurasian migratory birds.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When we talk about modification of the landscape, we mean things like roads, buildings, powerlines, wind turbines\u2014anything that isn&#8217;t naturally there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One of the biggest impacts seems to be caused by things that would kill a bird outright\u2014for example flying into a wind turbine, a building, being electrocuted on a powerline, hit by a vehicle or hunted. We found that exposure to these human-induced &#8216;direct mortality&#8217; threats in the bird&#8217;s wintering ranges are reflected in population decreases in breeding birds.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Aldina Franco, also from UEA&#8217;s School of Environmental Sciences, said: &#8220;Our findings are important because we need to understand where declining species are being most impacted by humans across their seasonal migrations. Pinpointing where birds are most exposed to these threats could help us target conservation actions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                            Changes in climate and land cover affecting European migratory bird populations\n                                        <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__more p-4\">\n                                                                                                <strong>More information:<\/strong><br \/>\n                                                Spatially explicit risk m<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ing reveals direct anthropogenic impacts on migratory birds&#8217;, <i>Global Ecology and Biogeography<\/i> (2022).<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"d-inline-block text-medium my-4\">\n                                                Provided by<br \/>\n                                                                                                    University of East Anglia<br \/>\n                                                                                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"icon_open\" href=\"http:\/\/www.uea.ac.uk\/\"><br \/>\n                                                        <svg>\n                                                            <use href=\"https:\/\/phys.b-cdn.net\/tmpl\/v6\/img\/svg\/sprite.svg#icon_open\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\"\/>\n                                                        <\/svg><br \/>\n                                                    <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 Infrastructure, hunting and climate change linked to huge migratory bird declines (2022, June 24)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved 25 June 2022<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/phys.org\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2022-06-infrastructure-climate-linked-huge-migratory.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
