We present an overview of the global spatiotemporal distribution of avian biodiversity,
changes in our knowledge of that biodiversity, and the extent to which it is imperilled. Birds …

For decades, we have observed a major biodiversity crisis impacting all taxa. Avian species
have been particularly well monitored over the long term, documenting their declines. In …

Declines in European bird populations are reported for decades but the direct effect of major
anthropogenic pressures on such declines remains unquantified. Causal relationships …

The mental health benefits of everyday encounters with birdlife for mental health are poorly
understood. Previous studies have typically relied on retrospective questionnaires or …

An automatic bird sound recognition system is a useful tool for collecting data of different
bird species for ecological analysis. Together with autonomous recording units (ARUs), such …

CONTEXT Technological innovations in agriculture are mainly driven by the maxim:
increase productivity at any costs. Today, in the face of climate change and an …

Detecting biodiversity change and identifying its causes is challenging because biodiversity
is multifaceted and temporal data often contain bias. Here, we model temporal change in …

Grasslands are globally threatened and their biodiversity, including grassland birds, is
declining markedly. To inform grassland bird conservation globally, we systematically …

Neonicotinoids (neonics) are the most widely used insecticides worldwide and are
considered to be of low risk to non-target organisms such as vertebrates. Further, they are …

Aim Despite the complexity of population dynamics, most studies concerning current
changes in bird populations reduce the trajectory of population change to a linear trend. This …
