Climate change and the spring migration of the European Serin Serinus serinus
Zdravko Dolenec
Sažetak
Numerous migratory bird species have advanced their spring arrival over the past few decades. These arriving changes may be associated with climate change. The aim of this paper was to examine how the timing of the European Serin Serinus serinus spring migration is related to the year and the local spring air temperatures. The study was conducted in the rural area of the village Mokrice in north-western Croatia. This study shows that the European Serins have significantly advanced their first arrival date over the 37-year period by eight days. Over the same research period, the mean spring air temperature has significantly increased as well. The results indicate that the average spring air temperature affects the spring migration phenology of the European Serin in north-western Croatia.
