Extended Data Fig. 2: Elevation and bird distribution maps of the study islands.
From: Sea-level rise causes shorebird population collapse before habitats drown
Elevation maps of islands (a) Schiermonnikoog and (b) Terschelling for the years (i) 1986 and (ii) 2125 under the intermediate RCP4.5 emission scenario. In the map of 1986, the distribution of oystercatchers’ territories is shown with a black dot for each territory (based on breeding census data). Elevation is in metres above mean high tide (MHT) where the MHT each year is adjusted with the amount of sea level rise (but removed of interannual fluctuations due to weather and the lunar nodal cycle). Coordinates on the axis are from the Dutch national RD grid (kilometre units). For similar maps of island A, see Fig. 1 in the main text.
