Human activity has reshaped ecological communities for thousands of years. While these activities have typically led to habitat loss, some species have successfully exploited human environments. However, the effects of long‐term human land‐use on the distributions of such species are poorly understood. Here, we investigated how land‐use change over the last 12,000 years has altered habitat distributions for a widespread human‐commensal bird, the Pacific swallow (Hirundo tahitica).
