Optimal Bird Migration: The Relative Importance of Time, Energy, and Safety
Thomas Alerstam,Åke Lindström +1 more
TL;DR: “Optimization is the process of minimizing costs or maximizing benefits, or obtaining the best possible compromise between the two,” (R. McNeill Alexander 1982).
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial autocorrelation and red herrings in geographical ecology
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the species richness of the birds of western/central Europe, north Africa and the Middle East using Moran's I coefficients and multiple regression, using both ordinary least-squares (OLS) and generalized least squares (GLS) assuming a spatial structure in the residuals, to identify the strongest predictors of richness.

Developing indicators for European birds
Richard D. Gregory,Arco J. van Strien,Petr Vorisek,Adriaan W. Gmelig Meyling,David G. Noble,Ruud P. B. Foppen,David W. Gibbons +6 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the farmland bird indicator is a useful surrogate for trends in other elements of biodiversity in this habitat, and developed statistical methods to calculate supranational, multi-species indices using population data from national annual breeding bird surveys in Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiversity concepts and urban ecosystems
TL;DR: In this paper, the association of biodiversity and urban ecosystems has usually concerned the impact of urbanization on biodiversity, however, biodiversity concepts can easily be applied to the urban ecosystem itself.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecosystem consequences of bird declines
TL;DR: A general framework for characterizing the ecological and societal consequences of biodiversity loss and applying it to the global avifauna is presented and projections indicate that by 2100, 6–14% of all bird species will be extinct, and 7–25% (28–56% on oceanic islands) will be functionally extinct.
