Successful birds keep options open

Diverse migration strategies help birds cope with environmental change, according to new research from the University of East Anglia (UEA).

Many species of migratory birds are in decline as a result of human impacts such as climate change and habitat loss. New research published today reveals why some species are more vulnerable than others and shows that species that migrate to a more diverse range of winter locations during their non-breeding season – such as White Stork, Marsh Harrier and Reed Warbler – are less likely to suffer population declines.
