TL;DR: The Pan-European Common Bird Monitoring Scheme (PCMBS) as discussed by the authors is a large scale database of 170 species of birds collected by around fifteen thousand fieldworkers annually counting breeding birds using standardized protocols in 28 European countries.
Abstract: Around fifteen thousand fieldworkers annually count breeding birds using standardized protocols in 28 European countries. The observations are collected by using country-specific and standardized protocols, validated, summarized and finally used for the production of continent-wide annual and long-term indices of population size changes of 170 species. Here, we present the database and provide a detailed summary of the methodology used for fieldwork and calculation of the relative population size change estimates. We also provide a brief overview of how the data are used in research, conservation and policy. We believe this unique database, based on decades of bird monitoring alongside the comprehensive summary of its methodology, will facilitate and encourage further use of the Pan-European Common Bird Monitoring Scheme results.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the effect of edge effects on the population sizes of 120 Ghanaian bird species in the presence of a range of hypothetical edge effects under land-sparing and land-sharing strategies, and at different levels of habitat fragmentation and agricultural production.

TL;DR: An indirect ELISA is used to detect and quantify diclofenac in 1251 liver samples from livestock carcasses collected across India between August 2007 and June 2008, one to two years after a ban on dic LFO manufacture and distribution for veterinary use was implemented.

TL;DR: The unusually hot summer in 1975 probably provided a suitable growth temperature for Clostridium botulinum to multiply in the organic materials of such pools of shallow water and mud.

TL;DR: While not beneficial to all taxonomic groups these results demonstrate that, in the case of corncrakes in the UK at least, well-designed AES measures targeted at a specific species do yield wider biodiversity benefits.
