Kudos for Shirin Taheri who just published the first article from her PhD thesis in Global Change Biology. We show that determinants of bird species range shifts in Great Britain, in the past decades, is likely driven by a combination of factors (climate change, land-cover change, and stochasticity) and that the strength of the signal of each one of these factors varies across the . . .

Networks of global bird invasion altered by regional trade ban
In 2005, the European Union imposed a ban in trade of wild exotic species as part of a package to control the sprea d of avian flu into the Continent. In a paper published in Science Advances we demonstrate that the ban reduced fluxes of trade in about 90%, from 1.3 million to 130 thousand birds traded. This mighty achievement had non predicted consequences: the market adjusted and new . . . [ Read More ]
