The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

A supertree approach to shorebird phylogeny
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2004 Background Order Charadriiformes (shorebirds) is an ideal model group in which to study a wide range of behavioural, ecological and macroevolutionary processes across species. However, comparative studies depend on phylogeny to control for the effects of

Data in Brief, 2023 Turnix suscitator (barred-button quail) is a member of the primitive genus Turnix in the highly diverse order of shore birds Charadriiformes. Absence of genome scale data of T. suscitator has limited our understanding about its systematics, taxonomic and

Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

Oikos, EarlyView.Annual survival is a key demographic parameter driving population trends in wildlife populations. However, despite numerous species‐specific or regional studies, global reviews of the factors affecting the survival of declining taxa remain scarce. Here, we investigated annual survival of fledged immature and adult shorebirds, a globally‐distributed and

Feeding Biology of Pectoral Sandpiper Calidris Melanotos (Birds: Scolopacidae) In the Floodplain of the Paraná River, Argentina [PDF]
, 2010 This study focuses upon the nourishing biology of the Pectoral Sandpiper at the floodplain of the Paraná river during spring and summer. Trophic spectrum, feeding selectivity and efficiency, extent of the trophic niche, circadian rhythm of feeding ...

The collective application of shorebird tracking data to conservation
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Addressing urgent conservation issues, such as the drastic declines of North American migratory birds, requires creative, evidence‐based, efficient, and collaborative approaches. The abundance of over 50% of monitored North American shorebird populations has declined by over 50% since 1980. To address these declines, we developed a partnership

Relationships between chick vocalizations and parental absence in Kentish Plovers
Ibis, EarlyView.Chick calls within bird species vary greatly, often in relation to whether parents are present. We studied chick calls in a nidifugous shorebird, the Kentish Plover Anarhynchus alexandrinus, in three circumstances—(1) on the nest with parental presence; (2) on the nest with parental absence; and (3) out‐of‐nest with human observer presence—and ...
