Effectiveness of the European Natura 2000 network to sustain a specialist wintering waterbird population in the face of climate change

Abstract: Analysis of coordinated Greater Scaup (Aythya marila) count data from the last 30 years showed a 38.1% decrease in wintering numbers in North-West Europe, from 309,000 during 1988–1991 to c.192,300 individuals during 2015–2018. Annual trends in wintering numbers differed throughout the range. Numbers decreased in the UK, Ireland, and in the Netherlands, while numbers were stable in Denmark. Germany, Poland, Sweden, and Estonia showed increasing numbers, suggesting a shift in the distribution of the species wit… Show more

“…short-stopping. This has been shown at an international scale for some of the common species such as Tufted Duck, Common Goldeneye, and Goosander (Lehikoinen et al 2013), Smew (Pavon-Jordan et al 2015, and Greater Scaup (Marchowski et al 2020). In all these species the International Waterbird Census has rendered decreases in the southern parts of their winter ranges in Northwest Europe, whereas the numbers have increased in the northerly parts of their winter ranges.…”

“…In all these species the International Waterbird Census has rendered decreases in the southern parts of their winter ranges in Northwest Europe, whereas the numbers have increased in the northerly parts of their winter ranges. These changes in the winter distribution of several species may conceal trends in the real population size, whereas the total wintering population of the Greater Scaup (Marchowski et al 2020) in Europe has decreased during the same period. For a species like the Greater Scaup, the northerly wintering areas and especially Gotland have become more important over the years.…”

“…In regions such as the Baltic Sea, where concentrations of wintering seaducks coincide with gillnet fishery, there is a conflict between this and nature conservation objectives [25]. In such hot spots, it is important to apply an appropriate management approach with the aim of reconciling conflicting interests [27].…”
