Conference on bird migration and global change, Algeciras, Spain
17 March 2010 - 17 March 2010
Spain
The Migres Foundation is organising the second Conference on Bird Migration and Global Change from 17 to 20 March 2010 in Algeciras, Spain.
Global climate change will affect all environments, from polar terrestrial to tropical marine, impacting both flora and fauna. Yet there is still insufficient research on climate change's consequences for the natural world.
For migratory birds, the timing of arrival at breeding territories and over-wintering grounds is a key determinant of reproductive success, survivorship, and fitness. Migratory birds can also contribute to the spread of emerging diseases affecting both animals and humans, and can interact in various new ways with non-migratory bird populations. An understanding of the processes driving these changes and their consequences is crucial for addressing likely scenarios, providing a firm basis for adaptive management and developing effective conservation strategies.For further information, please visit:
