Global review of shorebird tracking data to identify research gaps and conservation priorities. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Tracking has enabled rapid advances in knowledge of the movement behavior and habitat use of shorebirds and is thus making a growing contribution to their conservation. However, realizing the full potential that tracking holds for conservation involves understanding what has been performed on shorebirds to date and identifying regional and ...

Predator-guild-specific parental responses mitigate higher predation risk on ground nests close to forest patches in a mosaic landscape. [PDF]
J Anim EcolPredation increases close to habitat edges, but how animals cope with local predation variations remained poorly studied. In a mosaic landscape, lapwings were compensating for increased nest predation close to forests. They acted more aggressively towards an avian predator when nesting close to trees, but comparatively tamer against a mammal.

Predation Risk Does Not Delay Breeding but Reduces Nest Survival in High-Arctic Shorebirds. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe assessed the impact of arctic foxes' predation pressure on two sympatric sandpiper species. Fox activity influenced the breeding ecology of both sandpipers, with earlier nest initiations and lower nest survival rates in areas of high fox activity. ABSTRACT Understanding predator–prey interactions is crucial for correctly answering many fundamental ...
