Protected area characteristics that help waterbirds respond to climate warming. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2022
Abstract Protected area networks help species respond to climate warming. However, the contribution of a site's environmental and conservation‐relevant characteristics to these responses is not well understood. We investigated how composition of nonbreeding waterbird communities (97 species) in the European Union Natura 2000 (N2K) network (3018 sites ...

Habitat-based biodiversity assessment for ecosystem accounting in the Murray-Darling Basin. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2022
Abstract Understanding how biodiversity is changing over space and time is crucial for well‐informed decisions that help retain Earth's biological heritage over the long term. Tracking changes in biodiversity through ecosystem accounting provides this important information in a systematic way and readily enables linking to other relevant environmental ...

Ecological relevance of non-perennial rivers for the conservation of terrestrial and aquatic communities. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2022
Abstract River conservation efforts traditionally focus on perennial watercourses (i.e., those that do not dry) and their associated aquatic biodiversity. However, most of the global river network is not perennial and thus supports both aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity. We assessed the conservation value of nonperennial rivers and streams (NPRS) in

Benefits of protected areas for nonbreeding waterbirds adjusting their distributions under climate warming. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2021
Abstract Climate warming is driving changes in species distributions and community composition. Many species have a so‐called climatic debt, that is, shifts in range lag behind shifts in temperature isoclines. Inside protected areas (PAs), community changes in response to climate warming can be facilitated by greater colonization rates by warm‐dwelling

Exposure of wetlands important for nonbreeding waterbirds to sea-level rise in the Mediterranean. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Sea‐level rise (SLR) is expected to cause major changes to coastal wetlands, which are among the world's most vulnerable ecosystems and are critical for nonbreeding waterbirds. Because strategies for adaptation to SLR, such as nature‐based solutions and designation of protected areas, can locally reduce the negative effects of coastal flooding

Habitat Changes at the Local Scale Have Major Impacts on Waterfowl Populations Across a Migratory Flyway. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Migratory waterbirds are declining worldwide due to habitat loss, but not much is known about how the loss of specific wetlands can affect waterbird populations at the biogeographical scale. To investigate that, we used the Guadalquivir Marshes (SW Spain) as a case study and combined 38 years of waterfowl winter counts with environmental and remote ...

Drone‐induced flight initiation distances for shorebirds in mixed‐species flocks

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 9, Page 1816-1827, September 2023., 2023
We conclude that (i) drone use needs to be carefully regulated to ensure roosting shorebird flocks are not approached within distances that will disturb the most sensitive species likely to be present, (ii) researchers contemplating drone surveys need to carefully evaluate the risk of disturbance, especially where there are mixed‐species flocks, and ...

Hydrology affects shorebirds, waterfowl, and other waterbirds at Bear River Bay, a Globally Important Bird Area

Journal of Field Ornithology, Volume 92, Issue 4, Page 388-401, December 2021., 2021
Abstract The value of saline lakes and associated wetlands as habitats in the xeric Great Basin is dependent on having water of sufficient quantity and quality to support wetland‐dependent birds. To inform conservation and management of these habitats, models are needed to link birds and hydrological changes due to climate and human water use.

Trends and knowledge gaps in field research investigating effects of anthropogenic noise

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 115-129, February 2021., 2021
Abstract Anthropogenic noise is a globally widespread sensory pollutant, recognized as having potentially adverse effects on function, demography, and physiology in wild animals. Human population growth and associated changes in urbanization, transportation, and resource extraction all contribute to anthropogenic noise and are predicted to increase in ...

¿Por qué no debemos alimentar a las aves acuáticas?

EDIS, 2023
El propósito de este documento es ayudar a reducir la frecuencia con la que las personas alimentan a las aves que viven cerca del agua en Florida, y explicar los impactos negativos de estas acciones. Este documento está dirigido a una audiencia general.
