Morgan Tingley for The Week — Warming climate takes a toll on global bird populations

“Morgan Tingley, the study’s senior author and a UCLA associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, expressed concern over the severe decline in bird populations in North America, where nearly a third of bird species have been lost since the 1970s. Tingley emphasised the urgent need for conservation strategies that address how bird species respond to climate-driven shifts to mitigate further losses.”
