Flexible habitat use in a migratory songbird expanding across a human-modified landscape: is it adaptive?
Behavioural plasticity during habitat selection plays a key role in determining whether organisms may thrive under human-induced rapid environmental changes. As organisms rely on environmental cues to make dec...

Open AccessContrasting impacts of precipitation on Mediterranean birds and butterflies
The climatic preferences of the species determine to a large extent their response to climate change. Temperature preferences have been shown to play a key role in driving trends in animal populations. However...

Open AccessSetting temporal baselines for biodiversity: the limits of available monitoring data for capturing the full impact of anthropogenic pressures
Temporal baselines are needed for biodiversity, in order for the change in biodiversity to be measured over time, the targets for biodiversity conservation to be defined and conservation progress to be evaluat...

Arthropods and novel bird habitats: do clear-cuts in spruce plantations provide similar food resources for insectivorous birds compared with farmland habitats?
Arthropods, and insects in particular, constitute important food resources for several higher trophic levels like birds. Their abundance and diversity is likely to differ between habitat types depending on the...

Territorial resource valuation deviates from habitat quality in an ecologically trapped, long-distance migratory bird
Preference measures are widely used in habitat selection studies to test an animal’s choice relative to particular habitat features, but most measures are subject to criticism as they fail to indicate the unde...

Predicted insect diversity declines under climate change in an already impoverished region
Being ectotherms, insects are predicted to suffer more severely from climate change than warm-blooded animals. We forecast possible changes in diversity and composition of butterflies, grasshoppers and dragonf...
