We are very grateful to Arco van Strien, Adriaan Gmelig Meyling, Thomas van der Meij, and Marnix P. de Zeeuw (all from Statistics Netherlands). They developed a tool for calculating indices and trends and assisted with a computation procedure. We appreciate their valuable help with the new tools’ implementation and their modifications for PECBMS needs.
We thank members of the PECBMS Steering and Technical Group – Richard Gregory (RSPB), Chris van Turnhout (SOVON), David Noble (British Trust for Ornithology), Anna Staneva (Birdlife International), and Zdeněk Vermouzek (Czech Society for Ornithology) – for valuable comments and help with data collation and analysis.
