TL;DR: Analysis of a global dataset of bee diversity at sites facing land-use change and intensification suggests that global extrapolation of models based on geographically and taxonomic restricted data may underestimate the true uncertainty, increasing the risk of ecological surprises.
Abstract: Land-use change and intensification threaten bee populations worldwide, imperilling pollination services. Global models are needed to better characterise, project, and mitigate bees' responses to these human impacts. The available data are, however, geographically and taxonomically unrepresentative; most data are from North America and Western Europe, overrepresenting bumblebees and raising concerns that model results may not be generalizable to other regions and taxa. To assess whether the geographic and taxonomic biases of data could undermine effectiveness of models for conservation policy, we have collated from the published literature a global dataset of bee diversity at sites facing land-use change and intensification, and assess whether bee responses to these pressures vary across 11 regions (Western, Northern, Eastern and Southern Europe; North, Central and South America; Australia and New Zealand; South East Asia; Middle and Southern Africa) and between bumblebees and other bees. Our analyses highlight strong regionally-based responses of total abundance, species richness and Simpson's diversity to land use, caused by variation in the sensitivity of species and potentially in the nature of threats. These results suggest that global extrapolation of models based on geographically and taxonomically restricted data may underestimate the true uncertainty, increasing the risk of ecological surprises.

TL;DR: The authors assess whether species listed on Annex I of the European Union (EU) Birds Directive, for which EU Member States are obliged to implement special conservation measures, differ systematically in their short-term or long-term population trends from those of non-Annex I species.
Abstract: International legislation forms a cornerstone of conservation, yet its efficacy is rarely quantified. We assess whether species listed on Annex I of the European Union (EU) Birds Directive, for which EU Member States are obliged to implement special conservation measures, differ systematically in their short-term (2001-2012) or long-term (1980-2012) population trends from those of non-Annex I species. In both periods, Annex I species had more positive trends than non-Annex I species, particularly in countries that joined the EU earlier. There were additional signatures of climate change and life history strategy in the trends of species in one or both periods. Within Annex I species, long-distance migrants fared significantly worse than other species, suggesting that enhanced protection on the breeding grounds alone may be insufficient for these species. We conclude that the EU's conservation legislation has had a demonstrably positive impact on target species, even during a period in which climate change has significantly affected populations.

TL;DR: To examine quantitatively the evolution of bird atlas methods, from their inception to the present day, to document the most frequently used methods and to quantify temporal changes in them, and so identify broad patterns that might be of use in the planning and interpretation of future atlases.
Abstract: Capsule An increasing proportion of atlases now map patterns of abundance but they are still a minority even though they require no more input of time or fieldworkers. Aims To examine quantitatively the evolution of bird atlas methods, from their inception to the present day, to document the most frequently used methods and to quantify temporal changes in them, and so identify broad patterns that might be of use in the planning and interpretation of future atlases. Methods A database of over 400 atlases was compiled, and a number of variables extracted from each. Temporal trends within, and relationships between, these variables were analysed. Results Atlases have become significantly reduced in scale over time, covering smaller areas in shorter periods of fieldwork, but at higher spatial resolutions and with increasing numbers of observers per unit area. The number of participating fieldworkers and the size of the region being covered together explain over 70% of variation between atlases in spatial reso...
