Our new OA paper is out here: https://t.co/RO0FDP5NL0

We present an approach for combining tracking data and remote-sensed threat maps to quantify year-round individual risk exposure.

We use @_BTO Cuckoo tracking data to reveal seasonal and flyway differences in risk exposure.

New website for our @NERCscience @ESRC project exploring the health & well-being value of natural #soundscapes is now live: https://t.co/7sgbLAamdl. Beautifully designed by @buchanding. Check back for updates as project develops.

@Gauldblimeyjet We obtained approval from ethics board of lead institution only (tho our survey was written and circulated solely by lead institution authors, with no ref to other institutes, and survey responses only seen by lead institution authors). @antica_c

@Dr_ALI_HS If your question is about the creation of the maps as figures, I think these ones were made using {rasterVis} https://t.co/T8QVB8ym1F

1 Long-distance 🦅migrants are declining. Understanding drivers of declines (what, how, where, when) is necessary to reverse trends. Migrants may be exposed to numerous anthropogenic threats throughout annual cycle, effects of which may be interactive/cumulative #BOU2021 #Break1

[Claire Buchan @buchanding]

@Dr_ALI_HS Hi Ali - if you are looking to recreate risk surfaces for your study area there are details on how we assembled/created these in the paper (and SOM) here: https://t.co/JnZpQuTXm2

[Claire Buchan @buchanding]

@D_Scallan we don't show that hunting itself is linked to pop. declines, just that a composite risk surface including hunting and other risks elsewhere established as threats to mig. birds are linked to pop. declines. hope that answers your q!

[Claire Buchan @buchanding]

@D_Scallan Thanks David - we mapped relative hunting risk for large- and small-bodied species thru a survey of expert opinion from across the region, combined with metrics of accessibility, protected areas etc.

[Claire Buchan @buchanding]

@juliet_vickery @IBIS_journal Thanks Juliet! Yep, this crossed our minds too... Spatial refinement of nonbr ranges is currently a fairly unavoidable issue, but reassuringly our results hold when we used risk exposure calculated across artificially coarsened ranges.

(below is e.g. for sparrowhawk br range)

New OA paper: https://t.co/JnZpQuTXm2

🗺️ We mapped 16 anthropogenic threats to migratory birds across the Afro-Palaearctic.

🕊️ We used these to create composite species-specific threat scores for >100 bird sp and related these to the PECBMS population trends. 1/2
