Species' status is categorised as: E–endemic; NE–near-endemic; m–long-distance migrant; pm–short-distance or partial migrant. Migratory status was determined according to the predominant behaviour of the population breeding in Europe.

Range extent is expressed as the number of grid squares in which the species is observed or simulated to be present; simulated ranges are often more extensive because species were simulated for ‘no data’ grid squares that fell within the climatic space of the data.

Two species classified as endemic and one classified as near-endemic are omitted from the Table. The distribution of Sitta whiteheadi (E; 6 recorded occurrences) could not be modelled, whilst the models obtained for Tetrao mlokosiewiczi (NE; 50 recorded occurrences) and Tetraogallus caucasicus (E; 30 recorded occurrences) were not considered useful and were rejected.
