Article
Chloe Denerley, Auteur ; Steve M. Redpath, Auteur ; Rene van der Wal, Auteur ; Stuart E. Newson, Auteur ; Jason W. Chapman, Auteur ; Jeremy D. Wilson, AuteurMany migratory bird species are undergoing population declines as a result of potentially multiple, interacting mechanisms. Understanding the environmental associations of spatial variation in population change can help tease out the likely mech[...]
Article
Martin J. P. Sullivan, Auteur ; Stuart E. Newson, Auteur ; James W. Pearce-Higgins, AuteurGeneralist species are becoming increasingly dominant in European bird communities. This has been taken as evidence of biotic homogenization, whereby generalist ‘winners’ systematically replace specialist ‘losers’. We test this pattern by relati[...]

Stuart E. Newson, Auteur ; Nick J. Moran, Auteur ; Andy J. Musgrove, Auteur ; James W. Pearce-Higgins, Auteur ; Simon Gillings, Auteur ; Philip W. Atkinson, Auteur ; Ryan Miller, Auteur ; Mark J. Grantham, Auteur ; Stephen R. Baillie, AuteurThe timing of migration is one of the key life-history parameters of migratory birds. It is expected to be under strong selection, to be sensitive to changing environmental conditions and to have implications for population dynamics. However, mo[...]

Alison Johnston, Auteur ; Stuart E. Newson, Auteur ; Kate Risely, Auteur ; Andy J. Musgrove, Auteur ; Dario Massimino, Auteur ; Stephen R. Baillie, Auteur ; James W. Pearce-Higgins, AuteurCapsule Heterogeneous detectability amongst species may impact multi-species bird surveys and if not accounted for, may bias community level conclusions. Estimates of detectability were produced for 195 UK bird species, and detectability was sig[...]
Article
Stuart E. Newson, Auteur ; Dario Massimino, Auteur ; Alison Johnston, Auteur ; Stephen R. Baillie, Auteur ; James W. Pearce-Higgins, AuteurCapsuleAccounting for changes in detectability over time which could invalidate population trends for common and widespread breeding birds in the UK, resulted in little change in trends for the majority of species considered. AimsTo examine whet[...]
Article
David Norman, Auteur ; Robert J. Harris, Auteur ; Stuart E. Newson, AuteurCapsule Line transect data from large-scale common bird monitoring schemes can be used to provide population estimates for many common and widespread species at a regional level. Aims To test the sample sizes necessary to derive regional populat[...]
Article
Philip J. Baker, Auteur ; Rebecca L. Thomas, Auteur ; Stuart E. Newson, Auteur ; Victoria Thompson, Auteur ; Nick R. D. Paling, AuteurCapsule Different urban breeding bird communities are associated with different habitat types, but, although community species diversity varies significantly, total bird density does not. Aims To investigate the association between breeding bird[...]
Article
Stuart E. Newson, Auteur ; Nancy Ockendon, Auteur ; Andrew Joys, Auteur ; David G. Noble, Auteur ; Stephen R. Baillie, AuteurDans Bird Study (56 2009)Capsule Trends in the relative abundance of 18 out of 23 breeding bird species of conservation concern varied significantly between habitats. Aims To produce and compare habitat-specific trends in abundance of widespread breeding birds of conser[...]

Stephen N. Freeman, Auteur ; David G. Noble, Auteur ; Stuart E. Newson, Auteur ; Stephen R. Baillie, AuteurCapsule A method for producing and validating long-term population indices using data from the Common Birds Census and its successor, the Breeding Bird Survey, is described.

Article
Stuart E. Newson, Auteur ; Baz Hughes, AuteurDiurnal activity of wintering Goosander was studied at Chew Valley Lake using instantaneous scan sampling. The sex ratio of 0.48 males per female was relatively consistent through midwinter 1995/1996. Daily energy expenditure calculations, based[...]
Article
Stuart E. Newson, Auteur ; Alison Johnston, Auteur ; Dave Parrott, Auteur ; David I. Leech, AuteurThe introduction of exotic species to ecosystems can have severe consequences for populations of native organisms, but logistical limitations and shortage of historical data often hinder attempts to quantify the ecological implications of such r[...]
Article
Karl L. Evans, Auteur ; Stuart E. Newson, Auteur ; Kevin J. Gaston, AuteurUrbanization is increasing across the globe and there is growing interest in urban ecology and a recognition that developed areas may be important for conservation. We review the factors influencing urban avian assemblages, focusing on habitat t[...]
Article
Stephen N. Freeman, Auteur ; Stuart E. Newson, AuteurWe discuss a log-linear model for series of regular bird counts taken at a number of survey sites. The model is parameterized in terms of annual growth rates rather than actual indices of abundance, as is more frequently done. This not only perm[...]
Article
Stuart E. Newson, Auteur ; Hazel E. Evans, Auteur ; Simon Gillings, AuteurIn many countries, bats have high conservation prioritisation owing to their trophic position, habitat associations and threat level, and many have dedicated management plans. However, poor knowledge of species' ecology, identification issues an[...]
Article
Stuart E. Newson, Auteur ; David I. Leech, Auteur ; Chris M. Hewson, Auteur ; Humphrey Q. P. Crick, Auteur ; Phil V. Grice, AuteurSeveral woodland bird species have declined markedly in abundance in England over the past 40 years, whilst the grey squirrel Sciurus carolinensis, a non-native nest predator, has increased. Given the timing, there has been concern that grey squ[...]
Article
Karl L. Evans, Auteur ; Stuart E. Newson, Auteur ; David Storch, Auteur ; Jeremy J. D. Greenwood, Auteur ; Kevin J. Gaston, Auteur1. The spatial scale of analysis may influence the nature, strength and underlying drivers of macroecological patterns, one of the most frequently discussed of which is the relationship between species richness and environmental energy availabil[...]

Stuart E. Newson, Auteur ; John H. Marchant, Auteur ; Graham R. Ekins, Auteur ; Robin M. Sellers, AuteurSince the establishment of a tree-nesting colony of Great Cormorants Phalacrocorax carbo at Abberton Reservoir, Essex, in 198 1, the inland-breeding population in England has increased considerably and numbered at least 2,096 breeding pairs in 2[...]

Stuart E. Newson, Auteur ; Karl L. Evans, Auteur ; David G. Noble, Auteur ; Jeremy J. D. Greenwood, Auteur ; Kevin J. Gaston, Auteur1. Population estimates are of fundamental importance for setting conservation priorities and for numerous aspects of conservation biology. 2. Distance sampling, which takes undetected individuals into account, is one of the most widely used met[...]
Article
Martin J. P. Sullivan, Auteur ; Stuart E. Newson, Auteur ; James W. Pearce-Higgins, AuteurMany species are undergoing rapid population declines, while other species have increased. Previous work has related population change to species traits to elucidate the drivers of population change. However, this assumes that these drivers oper[...]
