Climate in Africa sequentially shapes spring passage of Willow Warbler Phylloscopus trochilus across the Baltic coast

Magdalena Remisiewicz et al.

Summary: This study found that the timing of Willow Warblers' spring passage is influenced by both European and African climate indices. The migration timing in different periods of spring is influenced by climate indices in different parts of the winter range. The study recommends using this method to study the phenological responses of birds to climate change.

Population viability assessment of an endangered raptor using detection/non-detection data reveals susceptibility to anthropogenic impacts

Francisco Cervantes et al.

Summary: This study assesses the potential consequences of additional mortality on an endangered raptor, the Black Harrier, after its first exposure to wind farms. The results show that the global population of this species, currently declining at a rate of 2.3% per year, could collapse in under 100 years if an average of three to five adult birds are killed annually. The study also highlights the population's sensitivity to climate change and emphasizes the importance of appropriate placement and management of wind farms to mitigate the harm to the Black Harrier.

The African Bird Atlas Project: a description of the project and BirdMap data-collection protocol

Michael Brooks et al.

Summary: The African Bird Atlas Project is a citizen-science bird-monitoring programme that uses a robust protocol to collect bird lists and provide insights into the distributions and conservation of African birds. It is a significant project with a large database and has inspired similar initiatives in Kenya and Nigeria. The project covers the entire African continent and involves citizen scientists collecting species lists within specific areas. The collected data is vetted and made available to the public via open access websites.

Population trends of resident and migrant West African bird species monitored over an 18-year period in central Nigeria

Joy Akpanta Ishong et al.

Summary: Despite the challenges faced by bird populations in West Africa, a study conducted in a newly protected area in central Nigeria suggests that simple conservation measures can have positive effects on local bird populations. The majority of species showed stable or increasing population trends, possibly influenced by the high-quality habitat within the protected area.

Assessments of range-wide distribution of six African storks and their relationships with protected areas

Jonah Gula et al.

Summary: This study assessed distribution trends and relationships with protected area extent for six African stork species, finding widespread distribution from East to Southern Africa but highly fragmented ranges in West Africa. It also revealed a positive relationship between occurrence and protected area extent, suggesting the importance of protected habitat for storks.

Urban areas have lower species richness, but maintain functional diversity: insights from the African Bird Atlas Project

Alan Tristram Kenneth Lee et al.

Summary: The study found lower species richness in urban areas of Africa, with no significant differences in functional diversity. Urban areas had smaller bird species, but similar overall biomass compared to rural areas. Urban exploiter species were described as scavengers, and urban planning should focus on protecting rare and large bird species.

Traditional belief systems and trade in vulture parts are leading to the eradication of vultures in Nigeria: an ethno-ornithological study of north-central Nigeria

Michael M. Williams et al.

Summary: The populations of various species of vultures are rapidly declining in Africa, with a noticeable decrease in Nigeria. Traditional belief systems and trade in vulture parts are believed to be major contributors to this decline. Public awareness, law enforcement, and the creation of vulture restaurants are suggested as important steps to protect vulture populations.

Palearctic passerinemigrant declines in African wintering grounds in the Anthropocene (1970-1990 and near future): A conservation assessment using publicly available GIS predictors and machine learning

Bruno Andreas Walther et al.

Summary: This study for the first time used publicly available Open Access GIS data and a multivariate (n=18) and multi-species (n=64) machine learning approach to deduce possible past impacts on migratory birds. The research identified predictor themes related to the distributions and declines of these birds, highlighting the importance of locations, human population pressures, land-use intensities, and climatic factors. It was also predicted that declining trends of migratory birds will persist into the future across much of Africa.

Population Viability Analysis for a vulnerable ground-nesting species, the Cape Rockjumper Chaetops frenatus: assessing juvenile mortality as a potential area for conservation management

Krista N. Oswald et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the iconic species of South Africa, the Cape Rockjumper, and its vulnerability to climate change due to temperature-related effects. The analysis reveals that juvenile mortality significantly impacts the population's extinction probability, with insights provided for potential management strategies.
