Abstract

Numerous studies have shown that climate change has altered avian timing of breeding. However, little is known about climate-driven changes in offspring production. We collected long-term breeding data on 201 populations of 104 bird species (N = 745,962 clutches) from all continents, between 1970 and 2019, to assess temporal changes in annual offspring production by female breeders in relation to changes in local temperatures and species’ life history traits. Overall, offspring production declined over time, but responses of different populations to rising temperatures were diverse. Our analyses suggest that negative effects of rising temperatures on offspring production will mainly affect migratory and largerbodied species, whereas smallerbodied sedentary species may benefit from warmer climate.
