In this region, precipitation and temperature can affect the distribution of these birds through direct (thermoregulation costs) or indirect effects (primary productivity). Thus, it can be postulated that projected climate changes in the region will affect the extent and suitability of their wintering grounds. We studied pipit and chiffchaff abundance in several hundred localities along a belt crossing Spain and Morocco and assessed the effects of climate and other geographical and habitat predictors on bird distribution. Multivariate analyses reported a positive effect of temperature on the present distribution of the two species, with an additional effect of precipitation on the meadow pipit. These climate variables were used with Maxent to model the occurrence probabilities of species using ring recoveries as presence data. Abundance and occupancy of the two species in the study localities adjusted to the distribution models, with more birds in sectors of high climate suitability. After validation, these models were used to forecast the distribution of climate suitability according to climate projections for 2050–2070 (temperature increase and precipitation reduction). Results show an expansion of climatically suitable sectors into the highlands by the effect of warming on the two species, and a retreat of the meadow pipit from southern sectors related to rain reduction. The predicted patterns show a mean increase in climate suitability for the two species due to the warming of the large highland expanses typical of the western Mediterranean.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Parmesan, C" uniqKey="Parmesan C">C

In this region, precipitation and temperature can affect the distribution of these birds through direct (thermoregulation costs) or indirect effects (primary productivity). Thus, it can be postulated that projected climate changes in the region will affect the extent and suitability of their wintering grounds. We studied pipit and chiffchaff abundance in several hundred localities along a belt crossing Spain and Morocco and assessed the effects of climate and other geographical and habitat predictors on bird distribution. Multivariate analyses reported a positive effect of temperature on the present distribution of the two species, with an additional effect of precipitation on the meadow pipit. These climate variables were used with Maxent to model the occurrence probabilities of species using ring recoveries as presence data. Abundance and occupancy of the two species in the study localities adjusted to the distribution models, with more birds in sectors of high climate suitability. After validation, these models were used to forecast the distribution of climate suitability according to climate projections for 2050–2070 (temperature increase and precipitation reduction). Results show an expansion of climatically suitable sectors into the highlands by the effect of warming on the two species, and a retreat of the meadow pipit from southern sectors related to rain reduction. The predicted patterns show a mean increase in climate suitability for the two species due to the warming of the large highland expanses typical of the western Mediterranean.</p></abstract><funding-group><funding-statement>This paper was funded by project CGL2011- 22953/BOS (Conservation of migratory birds in Iberia and the Maghreb: present patterns and future changes) of the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness.

This involves investigating the way climate change affects the environment requirements of organisms and how they cope with the changes through relocation, phenotypic plasticity or adaptation [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>]. Only in this way it is possible to understand the potential effects of changes on species and to design preventive or proactive measures to cope with them realistically [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>].</p><p>Migratory birds are sensitive to climate change in the different geographical sectors along their migratory journeys [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref006" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>]. This itinerancy makes it difficult to explore the potential effect of climate change on these species [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref007" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>]. In the case of European migratory birds, it has been predicted that many trans-Saharan species will reduce and shift their wintering range due to the effect of climate change [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref008" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>], but little is known about the fate of wintering grounds in the Palaearctic [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref009" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>]. Some evidence suggests a shift northwards of wintering ranges in some European birds but few studies have investigated the impacts of climate change on wintering areas in the Mediterranean Basin [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref009" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>]. This is, however, a main wintering ground for many European bird populations [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>] because the arrival of autumn rains mitigates the limiting effects of summer drought initiating a period of primary productivity, invertebrate activity and fruit ripening suitable for wintering birds [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref011" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>].</p><p>The Mediterranean basin is located at the southwestern border of the Palaeartic (<xref rid="pone.0146958.g001" ref-type="fig">Fig 1</xref>), which is expected to suffer stronger effects in terms of climate change [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref013" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>]. Thus, it is suspected that climate change will influence the extent and suitability of this wintering ground for birds, but no information is available on the potential strength and spatial distribution of changes. These changes have potential conservation implications because can affect the survival or the subsequent reproductive success of migratory birds and thus their populations trends [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref014" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>]. In the current work, we study the potential effect of climate change in two common passerines (the meadow pipit <italic>Anthus pratensis</italic> and the chiffchaff <italic>Phylloscopus collybita</italic>) wintering in the Iberian Peninsula and the Maghreb. More explicitly, we address the following objectives:</p><fig id="pone.0146958.g001" orientation="portrait" position="float"><object-id pub-id-type="doi">10.1371/journal.pone.0146958.g001</object-id><label>Fig 1</label><caption><title>Elevation map of the Western Palaearctic.</title><p>The study area is located within the stripped square.

This is a preliminary step to understand the effect of climate change on birds. We assume that climate can affect the distribution of wintering passerines in two main ways. First, food availability (e.g. seeds, fruits, invertebrates) is ultimately derived from plants and the effect of climate on plant productivity (e.g. through precipitation or temperature) influences bird abundance [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref017" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref018" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>]. Second, low temperatures increase the energy demands of these small birds, which are then forced to increase food intake to cope with thermoregulatory requirements [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref019" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref020" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>]. As a result, it can be postulated that the occupation of warm areas will decrease the need for thermogenesis and thus reduce individual daily energy requirements, enabling more birds to occur at a given level of productivity [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref021" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref022" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>]. However, this effect of climate on bird distribution could be affected by the competing effects of other geographical and environmental features [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref023" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref024" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>]. For instance, pipits and chiffchaffs arrive at the study area from the north. This seasonal afflux of birds could decrease the number of individuals involved in the colonization of the southern border of the winter range. This is usually related to the positive effect of migration length on mortality and energetic costs [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref025" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref026" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>]. Similar effects have already been reported in this wintering ground, where migratory fluxes affect winter distribution of birds [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref027" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref028" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>]. In addition, birds are strongly affected by vegetation structure so that the availability of suitable sites will strongly affect their presence in a given area [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref029" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>]. Thus, given the multiple determinants of bird distribution, we use a multivariate approach to assess the relative contribution of climate vs. other geographical and habitat predictors on the distribution of pipits and chiffchaffs.</p><fig id="pone.0146958.g002" orientation="portrait" position="float"><object-id pub-id-type="doi">10.1371/journal.pone.0146958.g002</object-id><label>Fig 2</label><caption><title>Study area and sampling effort distribution.</title><p>A.

To do this, we use the spatial distribution of winter ring records provided by the European Union for Bird Ringing (Euring; <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.euring.org/">http://www.euring.org/</ext-link>) to explore the distribution of species. As these recoveries are widely distributed throughout the study area (<xref rid="pone.0146958.g002" ref-type="fig">Fig 2</xref>) they can be used to explore the environmental preferences of birds. The models will be constructed with Maxent, a popular machine-learning technique designed to predict the occurrence probabilities of species by combining species presences (latitude and longitude) with the geographical distribution of climate variables [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref030" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref031" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>]. The ability of these maps to identify sectors of different climatic suitability will be tested with the distribution of pipits and chiffchaffs in the study localities (<xref rid="pone.0146958.g002" ref-type="fig">Fig 2</xref>). If the actual occupancy and abundance [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref032" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>] of birds agree with the occurrence probability maps, we will use the models to forecast the changes in the extent and suitability of wintering areas according to predictions of climate change. This approach assumes a "space-for-time" design, which attempts to predict temporal changes from present spatial correlates between species distribution and climate variables [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref033" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>].</p></sec><sec id="sec004"><title>Effects of climate change on the winter distribution of migratory birds</title><p>Finally, we use the validated distribution models to forecast the suitability of wintering grounds according to climate projections. The effect of climate change on breeding bird distribution has already been studied in the western Mediterranean [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref034" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref035" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>], but little is known about the way climate change will affect winter bird ranges. It has been predicted, for instance, that warming will improve the suitability of colder sectors, such as mountain and highlands [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref036" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>]. Climate predictions also suggest a reduction in precipitation in some southern areas that could reduce primary productivity [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref037" ref-type="bibr">37</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref038" ref-type="bibr">38</xref>] and the concomitant suitability of present wintering grounds for some species [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref039" ref-type="bibr">39</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref040" ref-type="bibr">40</xref>]. Thus, climate changes will likely be affected by latitudinal and altitudinal gradients producing a patchy distribution of the future climate trends. This study attempts to map the location and extent of these changes in climate suitability of the Iberian Peninsula and the Maghreb for the two study species.</p></sec></sec><sec sec-type="materials|methods" id="sec005"><title>Materials and Methods</title><sec id="sec006"><title>The model species</title><p>The meadow pipit (mean body mass 18.4 g; [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref041" ref-type="bibr">41</xref>]) feeds on invertebrates in meadows and grasses of open habitat patches [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref042" ref-type="bibr">42</xref>]. The chiffchaff (7.8 g) feeds on insects within a broader set of substrata and occurs in tree- and shrub-covered habitats [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref043" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>]. These passerines were selected as model species for two reasons. First, they do not breed in the study area (the meadow pipit) or mainly breed in some areas of the northern Iberian Peninsula (the chiffchaff; [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref044" ref-type="bibr">44</xref>]). Thus, most if not all birds wintering in the study area are migratory individuals [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref045" ref-type="bibr">45</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref047" ref-type="bibr">47</xref>]. This trait is interesting from a methodological point of view because it will attenuate the confounding effects of local conspecifics on the abundance patterning of migratory individuals [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref048" ref-type="bibr">48</xref>]. In this way, predictions based on ring recoveries in wintering grounds can be validated by the abundance distribution of the same migratory populations [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref049" ref-type="bibr">49</xref>]. Second, pipits and chiffchaffs are small insectivorous passerines that occur in a broad range of habitats [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref042" ref-type="bibr">42</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref043" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>]. Small body size makes birds more sensitive to temperature [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref020" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>] and a diet based on insects makes them potentially ubiquitous since these invertebrates are available in a wide range of habitats [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref050" ref-type="bibr">50</xref>]. This implicitly assumes the potential of these species to track climate changes across the entire study area.</p></sec><sec id="sec007"><title>Study area</title><p>The study area is located between 28° and 44°N at the southwestern border of the Palaearctic, covering an area of 1,700,000 km<sup>2</sup> (<xref rid="pone.0146958.g001" ref-type="fig">Fig 1</xref>).

Permissions were not required because we counted birds in free-access lands. At these points we recorded all individuals seen or heard at either side of 500 m-long line transects irrespective of the perpendicular distance at which each individual was detected. The number of individuals recorded per line transect is a common index of bird abundance in extensive bird counts [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref051" ref-type="bibr">51</xref>]. In each transect, we measured some vegetation traits in two 25-m radius circles separated by 200-m intervals. In each circle, we visually estimated grass cover and shrub and tree layers (shrub under 0.5 m, between 0.5–2 m and >2 min height). We also recorded the number of tree and shrub species within the circles. The scores of the two sampling circles were averaged to characterize each line transect (<xref rid="pone.0146958.s001" ref-type="supplementary-material">S1 Table</xref>). We conducted a principal components analysis to reduce tree and shrub cover and richness to just one score. We retained a single principal component (eigenvalue: 2.80), which explained 55.94% of variance and was interpreted as a gradient of increasing vegetation cover (factor loadings for vegetation cover under 0.5m height: -0.01; cover 0.5–2 m height; 0.84; cover >2 m height: 0.77; shrub species: 0.84 and tree species: 0.90). Factor scores of each locality within the component were used as an index of shrub and tree development (woodland).

Since we propose that small birds avoid cold areas to prevent excessive thermoregulatory requirements, and precipitation may affect the productivity of Mediterranean habitats after summer drought (see <xref rid="sec001" ref-type="sec">Introduction</xref>), we selected Mean Temperature of Coldest Quarter (bio11) and Precipitation of Coldest Quarter of the year (bio19) as the two main climate correlates of bird distribution.

Finally, to test if the present spatial patterning of climate variables is similar to that provided by Worldclim for the second half of the twentieth century, we requested from World Weather (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://en.tutiempo.net/">http://en.tutiempo.net/</ext-link>) the available climate data (years 2012–2013) in 25 meteorological stations located along the study area (from Avilés 43.55°N, 6.03°W to Sidi Ifini 29.36°N, 10.18°W). Despite strong differences in sample size affecting the means (50 vs. 2 years), climate variables depicted similar trends (bio 11, r: 0.93; bio15:0.69 and bio19:0.70, p<0.001 in all cases) supporting the usefulness of climate data used in this paper to explore the features affecting the present spatial distribution of birds.</p></sec><sec id="sec011"><title>Analyses</title><p>We used meadow pipit and chiffchaff abundance distribution as response variables and climate (temperature, precipitation, precipitation seasonality) and vegetation structure (grass and woodland cover) as predictor variables.

To deal with the large number of zeros in transects (<xref rid="pone.0146958.g002" ref-type="fig">Fig 2</xref>) we used the hurdle count model approach provided by pscl-R [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref056" ref-type="bibr">56</xref>]. These models are two-component models with a hurdle component that models the zero counts and a truncated count component for positive counts [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref057" ref-type="bibr">57</xref>].

These records result from birds ringed in breeding grounds or during the migratory displacements that have been recovered in the study region from 1960 to 2010. Most of meadow pipits ringed in breeding grounds (n = 63) arrived from the United Kingdom (55%) and Germany (17%) while most of the chiffchaffs (n = 81) arrived from Germany (35%), Belgium (26%) and France (17%).The geographical location of ring recovery localities (latitude and longitude) was used to run Maxent combined with the climate variables (temperature, precipitation, precipitation seasonality; see above). Since ring recovery distribution can be affected by human activity (e.g. more records are gathered in the most populated areas) [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>], the layer of human footprint (an index of population density, land transformation and road density) [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref060" ref-type="bibr">60</xref>] was used as a bias grid to distribute 10,000 background points with a likelihood of presence proportional to the human footprint index.

In addition, since the distribution models were launched to predict climate suitability, the effect of habitat structure on bird distribution was controlled by selecting the habitats mainly used by pipits (grasslands, farmlands, wooded pasturelands; n = 375) and chiffchaffs (wooded pasturelands, farmlands, scrublands, woodlands; n = 320) according to current information on winter habitat preferences [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref045" ref-type="bibr">45</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref047" ref-type="bibr">47</xref>].

These trends will be followed by a predicted increase in winter mean climate suitability for the meadow pipit (mean ± SE, 1950–2000: 0.28 ± 0.01; 2050–2070: 0.33 ± 0.01; repeated measures ANOVA F<sub>1,492</sub> = 114.21, P<0.001) and the chiffchaff (0.36 ± 0.01; 0.46±0.0.01 mm; F<sub>1,492</sub> = 663.53, P<0.009). The changes will not be distributed evenly across the region (<xref rid="pone.0146958.g004" ref-type="fig">Fig 4</xref>).

In the case of migratory birds, distribution results from large-scale geographical and climate processes affecting the historical configuration of migratory routes [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref065" ref-type="bibr">65</xref>] and the local arrangement of individuals according to their particular habitat preferences [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref029" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>]. Multi-scale approaches are thus required to detect the contribution of climate versus other features on the distribution of migratory birds [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref023" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref066" ref-type="bibr">66</xref>]. This has been the aim of the present study in which the distribution of wintering pipits and chiffchaffs has been related to large scale (geography and climate) and local (vegetation cover) predictor variables (<xref rid="pone.0146958.t001" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>).</p><p>The effect of latitude on bird distribution provided inconclusive results. The meadow pipit was more abundant in the northernmost sectors supporting the predicted effect of the distance to breeding grounds on winter distribution. However, the occupancy of the chiffchaff showed an opposite pattern, perhaps because in this species many individuals winter in the Sahel [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref043" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>]. Thus, the study area is not the actual southern border of its wintering area. After controlling for the geographical effects, the results supported habitat structure and climate as key players in bird distribution. Woodland cover was related to the occurrence of the chiffchaff (positive) and the meadow pipit (negative). In both cases, abundance was positively related to grass cover. These results are congruent with the habitat preferences of the species since the meadow pipit prefers grass patches in open habitats and the chiffchaff feeds on a broad variety of substrata (included tall grasses) in shrub- and tree-covered habitats [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref042" ref-type="bibr">42</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref043" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>].</p><p>Climate variables were related to bird distribution supporting the presence of more pipits and chiffchaffs in warmer sectors (<xref rid="pone.0146958.t001" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>). Preferences for warmer areas could be explained by the predicted direct effect of low temperatures on thermoregulation costs (see <xref rid="sec001" ref-type="sec">Introduction</xref>). In an area dominated by cold mountains and highlands (<xref rid="pone.0146958.g001" ref-type="fig">Fig 1</xref>), where most sectors show mean winter temperatures (mean ± SE: 9.36°C ± 0.18; min-max: -2.2 to 16.7°C; n = 493; see <xref rid="sec005" ref-type="sec">methods</xref>) under the usual thermoneutral zone of passerines [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref067" ref-type="bibr">67</xref>], birds may be forced to increase metabolism [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref068" ref-type="bibr">68</xref>] or to leave colder sectors [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref036" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref069" ref-type="bibr">69</xref>]. In addition to this effect of thermal landscape on bird distribution, meadow pipits were positively related to precipitation. Autumn and winter rains mitigate the effect of summer drought in the Mediterranean and favour primary productivity and food availability for wintering birds [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref011" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0146958.ref039" ref-type="bibr">39</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref040" ref-type="bibr">40</xref>]. This effect could be magnified by the use of ground by the meadow pipits as feeding substratum [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref042" ref-type="bibr">42</xref>]. In the Mediterranean region, grass growth and the superficial activity of ground invertebrates are strongly related to the moisture produced by autumn and winter rains on dry ground layers resulting from summer drought [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref038" ref-type="bibr">38</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref070" ref-type="bibr">70</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref071" ref-type="bibr">71</xref>]. In this way, more precipitation will result in more suitable food patches for this species [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref048" ref-type="bibr">48</xref>]. Thus, it can be concluded that rain-mediated productivity and thermal landscapes can provide a causal explanation of climate features affecting the distribution of these small passerines in the study area.</p></sec><sec id="sec022"><title>Modelling the distribution of climate suitability</title><p>Temperature and precipitation were the best contributors to the models such that the resulting maps depicted similar distribution patterns in both species (<xref rid="pone.0146958.g004" ref-type="fig">Fig 4</xref>). The sectors with high occurrence probabilities were distributed in lowlands and low occurrence areas were restricted to highlands and inland deserts. There were, however, some differences. While the meadow pipit was mostly related to western lowlands where Atlantic rains drain, the chiffchaff showed a broader distribution. Interestingly, the models fitted well to the present distribution of the species, with higher occupancy and abundance in sectors where the Maxent models suggest high climate suitability (<xref rid="pone.0146958.t003" ref-type="table">Table 3</xref>). This supports the usefulness of models resulting from ring recoveries and suitable climate variables to predict the geographical distribution of wintering in these birds [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref054" ref-type="bibr">54</xref>].</p></sec><sec id="sec023"><title>Effects of climate change on bird distribution</title><p>According to IPCC predictions [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref072" ref-type="bibr">72</xref>], mean temperature will increase and precipitation will decrease in the study area over the next few decades. These changes will not be spatially homogeneous in the study area. Some southern sectors will be more affected by changes (<xref rid="pone.0146958.g003" ref-type="fig">Fig 3</xref>) and, within this latitudinal trend, temperature increases will grow and precipitation loss will decline in the highlands (<xref rid="pone.0146958.t004" ref-type="table">Table 4</xref>). This change has been reported in other studies of the effect of elevation on climate change [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref073" ref-type="bibr">73</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref074" ref-type="bibr">74</xref>]. As a result, and according to the reported effects of winter temperature and precipitation on the meadow pipit and chiffchaff, the models predict two main trends in climate suitability. First, mean climate suitability will improve for the two species in the Iberian Peninsula and the western Maghreb. This change seems to be related to the warming of highlands in a region where 80% of the land is over 300 m and 60% over 600 m a.s.l. (<xref rid="pone.0146958.g001" ref-type="fig">Fig 1</xref>). In this way, the improvement of winter conditions produced by warming of elevated areas, similar to that reported in northern areas, will provide small birds the possibility to cope with winter conditions more successfully [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref036" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>]. Second, despite the overall improvement of winter conditions, some sectors will be more vulnerable to the damaging effects of climate change in some species. This is true for the warmer lowlands of the south where the predicted decrease in precipitation will reduce the climate suitability for the meadow pipit, a species linked to moist areas (see above). The fate of water resources is a key concern in the drier sectors of the Iberian Peninsula and the Maghreb [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref013" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref037" ref-type="bibr">37</xref>].</p></sec><sec id="sec024"><title>Prospects</title><p>This study suggests five main aspects for consideration in the assessment of the weaknesses and strengths of the resulting patterns. First, it is important to consider the representativeness of the two model species. They are insectivorous and ubiquitous birds similar to many other European partial-migratory passerines [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>]. However, the alleged ability of pipits and chiffchaffs to track climate change over the study region may not apply to stenotopic species or birds forced to track resources with patchy distribution (e.g. water birds, frugivorous species). Second, it is important to state that these results refer to a scenario in which other features (e.g. vegetation cover and composition, agricultural practices, etc.) will also vary as a response to climate change [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref075" ref-type="bibr">75</xref>]. As a result, climate change could promote synergetic interactions within and among species, evolutionary and ecological processes and human impact that are difficult to predict [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref033" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>]. Third, temperature and precipitation appear to be two main drivers of bird distribution because changes in these parameters affect the energy available for birds (see <xref rid="sec001" ref-type="sec">Introduction</xref>). Since energy availability has been reported to be a global driver of bird distribution, changes in these variables are probably suitable indicators of changes in other species and regions [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref076" ref-type="bibr">76</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref077" ref-type="bibr">77</xref>]. Finally, the results highlight the main role of elevation in shaping the retreat of low latitudinal margins of Mediterranean winter ranges of birds reported in this paper. This role of elevation will probably apply in other highlands of the Mediterranean basin (<xref rid="pone.0146958.g001" ref-type="fig">Fig 1</xref>) and the planet where winter conditions for birds can benefit from warming [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref067" ref-type="bibr">67</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref070" ref-type="bibr">70</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref078" ref-type="bibr">78</xref>]. This main role of highlands in reshuffling the wintering ranges of migratory birds in the Mediterranean basin suggests two additional observations: a) Mediterranean highlands are usually reported as refuges for species retreating northwards due to the effect of postglacial warming [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref079" ref-type="bibr">79</xref>]. The results in this paper suggest a similar buffer effect on wintering ranges of migratory birds. The huge expanses of Mediterranean highlands (<xref rid="pone.0146958.g001" ref-type="fig">Fig 1</xref>), usually avoided by many birds in winter [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref039" ref-type="bibr">39</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref040" ref-type="bibr">40</xref>], would progressively increase climate suitability as warming progresses. b) However, this projected climate improvement of highlands will not be sufficient to predict an increase in migratory populations in this wintering region since warming in northern areas may reduce migratory journeys to the south [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref003" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>]. Alternatively, it has been postulated that warming of Mediterranean highlands could exert a positive influence on the size of local bird populations favouring winter residency and enhancing winter survival [<xref rid="pone.0146958.ref028" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>].</p></sec></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material" id="sec025"><title>Supporting Information</title><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="pone.0146958.s001"><label>S1 Table</label><caption><title>Distribution of bird numbers and habitat structure in sampling points along the Iberian Peninsula and the Maghreb.</title><p>(CSV)</p></caption><media xlink:href="pone.0146958.s001.csv"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material></sec></body><back><ack><p>We thank Chris du Feu of the European Union for Bird Ringing (EURING) and Ricardo Gómez and Eva Banda of the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment who kindly provided all facilities for work with ring recoveries.
