TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used ecological niche modeling and connectivity analyses to model distributions of endangered species and protected area connectivity across the Upper Guinea Forest (UGF) Global Conservation Hotspot of West Africa.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured variation in flight distance, speed and duration of major stopovers of 35 Whinchats Saxicola rubetra that migrated successfully from central Nigeria to Eastern Europe in spring, and examined how these measures changed, or depended on age, when crossing the barriers of the Sahara or the Mediterranean Sea.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined DAK for the birds of western Africa, obtained from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and eBird, to identify gaps in the current knowledge of birds in western Africa and to guide future avian surveys across the region.

TL;DR: This paper used correlative ecological niche models to assess potential distributional responses of three range-restricted West African birds, Timneh Parrot (Pscittacus erithracus timneh), Ballman's Malimbe (Malimbus ballmanni), and White-necked Rockfowl (Picathartes gymnocephalus), to global climate change.

TL;DR: Goodwin et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the relationship between the A.P. Leventis conservation foundation and the British Ornithologists' Union and the Linnean Society.
