An impact evaluation of conservation investments targeting long‐distance migratory species
Abstract We evaluated the impact of a philanthropic program investing in the conservation of sites along the Pacific Americas Flyway, which spans >16,000 km of coastline and is used by millions of shorebirds. Using a quasi‐experimental, mixed methods approach, we estimated what would have happened to shorebird populations at 17 wintering sites without ...

Interactions between shorebirds and benthic invertebrates at Culbin Sands lagoon, NE Scotland: effects of avian predation on their prey community density and structure [PDF]
In the North Sea, during autumn-winter, intertidal flats often receive a massive influx of migratory shorebirds (wildfowl, waders and seabirds), which utilise the high prey densities that are available.

Aves migratorias neárticas en comunidades templadas y tropicales
Populations of over 300 species of birds that breed in America, north of Mexico, spend a portion of their life cycle in the tropical zone. Studies in Veracruz, Mexico, and elsewhere in the tropics have shown that there is intense intraspecific competition, fidelity to wintering sites, and niche specificity in migrants using these tropical environments.

Nighthawk: Acoustic monitoring of nocturnal bird migration in the Americas
Abstract Animal migration is one of nature's most spectacular phenomena, but migratory animals and their journeys are imperilled across the globe. Migratory birds are among the most well‐studied animals on Earth, yet relatively little is known about in‐flight behaviour during nocturnal migration.
