Abstract
Migratory birds are highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, which disrupt their timing of migration, availability of resources and even hormonal regulation. Present review summarizes the key points regarding the impacts of climate change on migratory birds and the challenges they face for long-term viability. Rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and shifts in wind patterns affect migration timing, availability of food resources, and flight paths. Trophic mismatches resulting from climate change reduce reproductive success. Changes in hormone production and secretion, driven by altered day length and light intensity, affect migration and reproductive timing. Elevated corticosterone levels due to environmental stressors influence migratory decisions. Hormones regulating appetite and energy balance impact feeding behavior and fat deposition. These impacts contribute to declining population sizes and increase the vulnerability of migratory birds to extinction. Conservation efforts should prioritize protecting stopover sites, promoting international cooperation, raising public awareness, and engaging stakeholders. Research advancements, such as satellite tracking and predictive modelling, support conservation strategies. Collaborative efforts between researchers, policymakers, and conservation organizations are essential for effective conservation and management of migratory bird populations in the face of climate change.
期刊介绍:
The Earth''s biosphere is being transformed by various anthropogenic activities. Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change addresses a wide range of environment, economic and energy topics and timely issues including global climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion, acid deposition, eutrophication of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, species extinction and loss of biological diversity, deforestation and forest degradation, desertification, soil resource degradation, land-use change, sea level rise, destruction of coastal zones, depletion of fresh water and marine fisheries, loss of wetlands and riparian zones and hazardous waste management.
Response options to mitigate these threats or to adapt to changing environs are needed to ensure a sustainable biosphere for all forms of life. To that end, Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change provides a forum to encourage the conceptualization, critical examination and debate regarding response options. The aim of this journal is to provide a forum to review, analyze and stimulate the development, testing and implementation of mitigation and adaptation strategies at regional, national and global scales. One of the primary goals of this journal is to contribute to real-time policy analysis and development as national and international policies and agreements are discussed and promulgated.
