Breeding record of Little Ringed Plover Charadrius dubius jerdoni Legge, 1880 (Charadriidae: Charadriformes) from Tamil Nadu, India

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2023
A new breeding record of Little Ringed Plover Charadrius dubius jerdoni is documented from Tamil Nadu. This observation highlights the need for a more extensive and comprehensive survey and monitoring of this subspecies from wetlands of both protected and unprotected areas of peninsular India.

Pearl's causality for integrating ecological datasets: A case study on Myricaria germanica in northern Italy

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 4, July-August 2026.
Abstract Premise Applied ecology can significantly influence policy decisions on environmental issues. Therefore, research in this field should be as transparent and reproducible as possible. Existing expertise from a broad range of disciplines should also be integrated into ecological research to allow researchers to maximize understanding of complex ...

Chewing Lice From the Wings of Migrating Shorebirds: Diversity, Host Specificity, and Associations With Host Body Condition

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We investigated the diversity, prevalence, and abundance of chewing lice in 1403 individuals representing 20 migratory shorebird species from the families Charadriidae and Scolopacidae, identifying 26 louse species through microscopy and DNA barcoding.

Shorebird responses to fine‐scale water level fluctuations and macrofauna biomass in a newly constructed freshwater wetland

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Abstract Introduction Restoration of marine and freshwater wetlands for shorebirds is essential for the recovery of their declining populations. An ongoing approach is to restore shorebird habitats by large‐scale engineering, expecting the return of birds once suitable abiotic conditions are (re)established.

Effects of hunting on waterbird numbers in Mediterranean coastal wetlands in France: the case of the Hérault department

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
Waterfowl hunting plays a complex role in the conservation of waterbird populations. While hunting can provide conservation benefits, excessive or unregulated hunting may threaten waterbird populations, particularly for species with declining numbers or high sensitivity to human disturbances.

Breeding Under Pressure: Shorebird Reproductive Success Amid Urban Disturbance Along a Mediterranean Urban Waterfront

Birds
Ground-nesting shorebirds face growing pressure from recreational activities in coastal urban areas. We monitored the breeding success of Kentish Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus) and Little Ringed Plover (Charadrius dubius) over six consecutive years ...

Estimating sex specific apparent survival and dispersal of Little Ringed Plovers (Charadrius dubius)

Ornis Fennica, 2015
Sex differences in survival have consequences to population dynamics making information on sex specific survival important. In birds, females often have lower survival than males, and one of the main mechanisms is considered to be differential reproductive investment.

Linking Habitat Conditions, Human Pressures, and Waterbird Diversity in a West African Coastal Wetland

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The Tanji wetland complex, situated on the Atlantic coast of The Gambia, is a coastal mosaic of mangroves, riparian forest, lagoons, and offshore islands of high ornithological significance. Despite its protected status, the reserve faces mounting pressures from human activities and environmental change, yet comprehensive ecological data ...

Species distribution models predict a future decline in urban avian biodiversity in response to changes in land use and climatic conditions

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 3, July–September 2025.
Urbanisation and climate change threaten biodiversity, especially in densely populated regions like the Ruhr Metropolis. Using citizen science, remote sensing and ensemble species distribution models, we projected habitat suitability for 26 bird species under future scenarios.
