Temperature and other climate variables are currently changing at a dramatic rate. As observations have shown, these climatic changes have serious consequences for all organisms and their ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions. Birds are excellent model organisms, with a very active metabolism, they are highly sensitive to environmental changes and as highly mobile creatures they are also extremely reactive.

This book discusses the current knowledge of observed changes and provides guidelines for future studies so we can document and understand how patterns of changing weather conditions may affect birds.
