TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify migratory pathways and strategies, understand migratory connectivity and enable field research to be targeted more effectively, and undertake detailed field studies in sub-Saharan Africa and at staging sites, where they understand little about distribution patterns, habitat use and foraging ecology.

TL;DR: The need for information on predator densities and the impact of predators on nest and chick survival is highlighted, before embarking on predator control measures at a particular site.

TL;DR: The demonstration that climate envelope models are able to retrodict species' population trends provides a valuable validation of their use in studies of the potential impacts of future climatic changes.

TL;DR: Latitudinal invariance in the direction of mismatch may act as a double-edged sword that presents no opportunities for spatial buffering from the effects of mismatch on population size, but generates spatially consistent directional selection on timing, which could facilitate rapid evolutionary change.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the potential of this technique for the monitoring of the globally threatened Corncrake Crex crex based on the analysis of calls recorded in Ireland and Scotland in 1993 and 1994.
