2 #ISTC20 #Sesh3 Prompted by local changes in breeding productivity of shorebirds, we extracted nest predation and chick survival rates across the globe and deployed generalized linear models controlling for phylogeny, spatial autocorrelation and sample sizes at the same time.

3 #ISTC20 #Sesh3 We have drawn attention to deteriorating nesting success of shorebirds (science.sciencemag.org/content/362/64…). Note that map extrapolation is impacted by the uneven geographic distribution of study locations. #ornithology #shorebirds #waders

4 #ISTC20 #Sesh3 The increase in nest predation is obvious mostly in the North temperate and the Arctic regions changing the global historical latitudinal gradient in nest predation. #ornithology #shorebirds #waders

5 #ISTC20 #Sesh3 Despite the regional variation, the first global insights into chick survival reveal similar patterns of deteriorating breeding productivity, conspicuous for shorebirds breeding in Europe and the Arctic, highlighting the need for targeted conservation efforts.

6 #ISTC20 #Sesh3 Various factors might be responsible, spanning from climate change and trophic interaction alterations to human pressure, calling for more data collection and detailed investigations. Check more about research in our group (elvonalshorebirds.com).
