TL;DR: Overall, while the IBA network will continue to sustain bird conservation, climate change will modify which species each site will be suitable for, and adaptive management of the network is critical to ensure effective future conservation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the potential impacts of climatic change on species with different migratory strategies using Sylvia warblers breeding in Europe as a ‘model’ species group.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a spatially-explicit mechanistic model (MIGRATE) able to simulate the migration of a single species across a realistically heterogeneous landscape.

TL;DR: A series of models are developed to test hypotheses about the factors influencing the distribution of a species of conservation importance – the hen harrier Circus cyaneus, with results consistent with historical data on the species’ distribution, its habitat use in other parts of its range and with the climate-based model.

TL;DR: This paper used a dynamic model framework to demonstrate that recently-observed changes at the expanding northern boundaries of three British butterfly species can be predicted with good accuracy, using a combination of individual species traits, species-specific habitat associations and distance-dependent dispersal.
