Abstract Alterations of the landscape following agricultural expansion and intensification affect animal movement patterns in resulting mosaic fragments surrounding matrix. Here, we analyze observed 34 individuals from nine tropical bird species a rapidly changing Kenya. We deconstructed into their three components: step length, turn angles, displacement categorized them two states: area restrictive expansive movement. Using hidden Markov models, mixed traits, showed that birds comprised short lengths small displacements, characteristic to exploit high‐quality habitats. On contrary, matrix long large explore or pass‐through poorer The responses components were mediated by traits. Habitat specialists stronger boundary response, shorter lengths, smaller displacements than habitat generalists both Their strong preferences for fragments, coupled with low flight capabilities can make particularly difficult. Whereas, at scale, generalist omnivores specialist frugivores had larger other guilds, as they use resources conduit Therefore, are intensely utilized conservation importance. quality permeability promote space

ABSTRACT Animal migration has fascinated scientists and the public alike for centuries, yet migratory animals are facing diverse threats that could lead to their demise. The Anthropocene is characterised by reality humans dominant force on Earth, having manifold negative effects biodiversity ecosystem function. Considerable research focus been given assessing anthropogenic impacts numerical abundance of species/populations, whereas relatively less attention devoted animal migration. However, there clear linkages, example, where human‐driven behaviour can population/species declines or even extinction. Here, we explore (in all domains – aquatic, terrestrial, aerial) using International Union Conservation Nature (IUCN) Threat Taxonomy classifications. We reveal (e.g. human development, disease, invasive species, climate change, exploitation, pollution) impact wildlife in varied ways spanning taxa, life stages type from direct mortality changes behaviour, health, physiology). Notably, these often interact complex unpredictable detriment wildlife, further complicating management. Fortunately, beginning identify strategies conserving managing Anthropocene. provide a set that, if embraced, have potential ensure animals, important ecological functions sustained migration, persist.

The ability to meet the high energetic costs of long‐distance migration can be a key factor in survival individual birds. use stopovers, where individuals pause rest and feed, is common strategy many migratory bird species. In this study, we explore timing 28 satellite‐tracked (17 GPS 11 Argos) adult Ospreys Pandion haliaetus from northeastern Germany. For 15 GPS‐tracked birds that migrated Africa, used Generalized Linear Mixed‐effects Models analyse effects sex, period, departure date other factors on number stopovers per season, total lengths stay at stopover sites. Female migrants arrived breeding sites earlier than male spring, contradicting theory. Females left autumn more month before males. was not affected by variables tested, but led longer stays period. Autumn were (males: mean = 58.1 h (95% CI 31.1–85.0); females: 164.0 (98.3–229.6)) spring 50.9 (0.0–114.6); 39.9 (11.9–67.9), especially with early dates. spent long periods mainly latitudes (in Europe), relatively also observed North Africa (between Mediterranean Sahara), so length did vary latitude. Seasonal fidelity between years low, except for five females. This flexibility complicates establishment protected areas migrating along flyway.

ABSTRACT Stopover sites are essential for migratory birds, offering opportunities to rest and refuel during migration. The quality of these habitats directly influences migration success, particularly small passerine birds that depend on readily available food resources. However, high‐quality often scarce at stopover sites. In the Republic Korea, Biodiversity Management Contract Scheme (BMCS) aims enhance habitat by providing resources through unharvested cultivated land (UCL). This study evaluated effectiveness BMCS Heuksando Island, a major site birds. We compared number species individuals usage time in UCLs control deserted lands (DLs). results showed higher richness abundance than DLs, with buntings (family Emberizidae) being numerous UCLs. Additionally, times were significantly longer While provides critical shelter granivorous like buntings, potential impacts non‐target warrant further investigation. These findings importance enhancing feed hide in, while also suggesting need balanced approach ensure broader biodiversity conservation.

The spatial configuration and management of agricultural other land‐use practices can affect ecological assemblages. However, the differences in how resident migratory birds respond to are remain unclear, hindering our understanding bird biodiversity responses land use. In a tropical moist broadleaf forest landscape southeastern Mexico, we assessed alpha, beta, functional diversity as indicators ecosystem functioning across landscape‐ habitat‐level gradients, incorporating distance protected area, understory vegetation cover, three uses: 1) primary forest, 2) secondary 3) cattle pasture. Compositionally, assemblages exhibited similar gradual shifts uses. while richness steadily declined with increasing from area simplification structure, did not change. Relative assemblages, found that abundances were greater pasture, insectivores compensated for 68% abundance losses Among these increases declines utilize foliage gleaning sallying foraging methods. Our findings emphasize importance evaluating managing landscapes around areas, highlight distinct use, reveal mechanisms sustain functions modified landscapes.
