Data from: Global pattern of nest predation is disrupted by climate change in shorebirds

Ongoing climate change is thought to disrupt trophic relationships, with
consequences for complex interspecific interactions, yet the effects of
climate change on species interactions are poorly understood, and such
effects have not been documented at a global scale. Using a single
database of 38,191 nests from 237 populations, we found that shorebirds
have experienced a worldwide increase in nest predation over the past 70
years. Historically, there existed a latitudinal gradient in nest
predation, with the highest rates in the tropics; however, this pattern
has been recently reversed in the Northern Hemisphere, most notably in the
Arctic. This increased nest predation is consistent with climate-induced
shifts in predator-prey relationships.
