We review evidence for whether and why mountain birds are potentially more vulnerable to climate change than at low elevation, given current knowledge of the avian limits physiological environmental conditions. The observed impacts on bird populations, communities distributions in environments limited. summarise these responses provide an assessment main mechanisms that might underpin those changes, such as changes (temperature, precipitation, snow cover extent), biotic drivers (phenology/food mismatch, prey/predator shifting treelines). potential future anticipated environments, considering vulnerability montane species likelihood increasing upslope colonisation by currently occupy lower elevations, considered, including a comparison between projected where available. Finally, we discuss conservation actions face change. Are there ways management habitats can be altered either help resist negative impacts, or facilitate positive response change? conclude summarising avifaunal community composition function end century.

ABSTRACT Fitness surfaces offer a valuable tool for bridging the gap between captive breeding programmes and wild populations. By quantifying relationship phenotypes reproductive success in settings, fitness can help identify consequences of phenotypic change either environment. Measuring populations from same species would us to predict reintroduction efforts inform selection release candidates. Overall, inclusion surface estimates into conservation increases effectiveness should improve our understanding evolution at interface human‐managed Beyond breeding, may have applications at‐risk such as predicting outcomes range expansions, translocation or under changing environmental conditions.

Abstract Species' distributions are moving polewards in response to climate change, and although range expansions of relatively warm‐adapted species widely reported, reports retractions cool‐adapted less common. Here, we analysed species' distribution shifts for 76 moths Great Britain using citizen science occurrence records from the National Moth Recording Scheme over a 40‐year period. Although find evidence trailing edge higher latitudes, centroids oriented towards north‐west, more closely correlated with directional changes total precipitation than average temperature. We also found that local extinction risk is areas where temperature high low, but this diminishes as increases. Adaptation efforts should therefore focus on maintaining or increasing water availability continues change.

It is increasingly important to understand the impacts of climate change on biodiversity and ecosystems support development effective adaptation strategies. The impact will vary for different species habitats, with some at greater risk than others in any given location. Assessments vulnerability are frequently starting point planning but there a variety approaches it not clear which best circumstances. Protected areas core nature conservation focus this study. We compare two commonly used approaches, one focused species, other vegetation forms habitats these utilise, assess Special Protection Areas (SPAs) birds England. Our aim was test whether identify same locations as being high inform prioritisation actions. bird communities varied significantly between protected differing predominant habitat types no simple relationship species. Bird upland were most vulnerable, lower found many potentially able benefit from change. In contrast assessment showed that had relatively low vulnerability, others, particularly coastal sites more vulnerable. therefore develop strategies based an understanding both their prioritisations contexts. SPAs grouped according they intended protect broad type. Six identified; freshwater/wetland, coastal, grassland, heathland, woodland upland. These groupings help determine greatest type action may be required, intervention should or both.

Conservation of biodiversity relies heavily on protected areas but their role and effectiveness under a warming climate is still debated. We estimated the climate-driven changes in temperature niche compositions bird communities inside outside southern Canada. hypothesized that include higher proportion cold-dwelling species than areas. also shift to warm-dwelling more slowly outside. To study community changes, we used large-scale long-term (1997-2019) data from Breeding Bird Survey describe communities, calculated index (CTI) annually for each Generally, dominated with high CTI values. modeled temporal as function protection status linear mixed-effect models. determined which contributed most jackknife approach.

The Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework calls for at least 30% of land and sea to be protected by 2030. Whilst there is growing evidence that areas can benefit biodiversity, achieve the greatest possible gains from their expansion, we must understand how area quality impacts upon biodiversity metrics. We used UK BTO/JNCC/RSPB Breeding Bird Survey data condition national Common Standards Monitoring, test whether improving site (for which are policy targets) would contribute stated targets increase species' abundance. After controlling differences in climate, cover, elevation, found a positive association between proportion favourable habitat bird abundance trends UK, while Wales, Scotland Northern Ireland combined, effect was also significantly greater than unfavourable habitat. Conversely, negative on There no these relationships varied conservation status or many traits considered, although some beneficial specialists, cold-adapted species, Our findings suggest currently condition, will nature recovery as measured circumstances. This suggests achieving "30 30" target without ensuring those sufficient quality, may not restore biodiversity.

However, current rate species declines globally, ecosystem collapses driven by accelerating catastrophic global heating, plethora other threats preclude ability habitat protection alone to prevent cascade amphibian mass extinctions. Reproduction advanced biotechnologies, biobanking germplasm somatic cells, conservation breeding programs (RBCs) offer transformative change biodiversity management. This can economically reliably perpetuate irrespective environmental targets extend satisfy humanity's future needs as biosphere expands into space.
