How climate change is affecting common birds—Strong effects of climate change…in Europe and USA

Strong effects of climate change on common birds in Europe and USA[/font]
(1 April 2016)
[font size=3]Scientists have shown for the first time that common bird populations are responding to climate change in a similar pronounced way in both Europe and the USA.
An international team of researchers, led by Durham University’s Department of Biological and Biomedical Sciences, found that populations of bird species expected to do well due to climate change had substantially outperformed those expected to do badly over a 30 year period from 1980 to 2010.
The research, conducted in collaboration with the RSPB and the United States Geological Survey (USGS), is published in the journal Science.
It is the first real demonstration that climate is having a similar, large-scale influence on the abundance of common birds in widely separated parts of the world, the researchers said.
