The effects of climate change on avian diversity in high altitude wetland habitats by Rajpar, Muhammad Nawaz, Zakaria, Mohamed

“…Climate change is a major driving factor that affects avian diversity through various ways such as altered microclimate factors (temperature, relative humidity, and rainfall pattern) and microhabitat characteristics that had caused a shift in home range, food resources, and breeding ecology of various bird species inhabiting high-altitude wetland habitats. …”

Seabirds as bioindicators of marine ecosystems by Rajpar, Muhammad Nawaz, Ozdemir, Ibrahim, Hussin, Mohamed Zakaria, Sheryar, Shazia, Rab, Abdu

“…Seabirds have been used as good indicators (i.e., bioindicators) of marine ecosystems due to cause-effect association with different microclimate and habitats. They exploit broad scale of habitat, quickly respond to environmental changes, they can be detected easily (i.e., they showed their presence through vocalization), easy to identify , can be surveyed efficiently over large spatial scale, e.g., presence, abundance, and influenced by surrounding habitats as compared to other animals. …”
