New research involving the BTO shows how bird populations are consistently responding to the effects of climate change on two continents. The study, led by the University of Durham, analysed data on abundance collected between 1980 and 2010 from 145 common species in Europe, and 380 in North America. UK data includes records collected by volunteers taking part in the BTO/JNCC/RSPB Breeding Bird Survey and its predecessor the Common Birds Census, both coordinated by the BTO.

Morphology, geographical variation and the subspecies of Marsh Tit Poecile palustris in Britain and Central Europe

Author: Broughton, R.K., Burgess, M.D., Dadam, D, Hebda, G., Bellamy, P.E. & Hinsley, S.A.

Published: 2016

Tit taxonomy is complex, with several species and subspecies reclassified many times since they were first formally described. This paper uses data collected during ringing to examine subspecies in Marsh Tits, with conservation implications for this declining species.
