Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT 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

Functional Variation in the Feeding Apparatus of Charadriiform Shorebirds With Emphasis on Bill-Tip Organs and Micro Tongue Tip Spines. [PDF]
J MorpholComparative morphological analyses of shorebird feeding apparatus revealed substantial variation in bill‐tip organs and micro tongue tip spines across taxa. Key findings included variation in sensory pit numbers within the bill‐tip organs characteristic of Scolopacidae, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealing micro tongue tip spines in several

Mate fidelity in a polygamous shorebird, the snowy plover (Charadrius nivosus)
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Social monogamy has evolved multiple times and is particularly common in birds. However, it is not well understood why some species live in long‐lasting monogamous partnerships while others change mates between breeding attempts.

Natal Versus Breeding Dispersal in Arctic Terns (Sterna paradisaea): A Banding Study From Denmark (1931–2005) [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe summarise Denmark's long historical dispersal events, understanding their directional, distance and regional flow characteristics. Comparing natal dispersals and breeding dispersals, provides insights for further research. ABSTRACT The dispersal of migratory birds is a crucial process that directly influences population viability, genetic ...
