Breeding populations of Little Ringed Plover Charadrius dubius and Ringed Plover Charadrius hiaticula in the United Kingdom in 2007

Bird Study, 2019
Capsule: The 2007 national survey of the UK breeding population of Little Ringed Plovers shows a further spread into Scotland and Wales since the previous survey in 1984. In contrast, there has been a significant decrease in the Ringed Plover breeding population.

Habitat heterogeneity from lidar and hyperspectral data: Implications for bird guilds and restoration management of coal mines

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 7, Page 1659-1673, July 2025.
This study underscores the need to design a mosaic of habitats with complex vertical structures, emphasising the critical role of senescent vegetation and unaltered terrain features in supporting biodiversity. Finally, it provides evidence that integrating habitat heterogeneity metrics derived from airborne remote sensing data into restoration success ...

Abundance and reproduction behavior data for waterbirds (Anatidae, Rallidae, Charadriiforms, Podicipediforms) breeding in European France based on a probability sampling design

Ecological Research, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 631-643, July 2025.
In this paper, we provide the dataset issued from field surveys of 2428 grid cells of 500 m × 500 m in French wetlands during springs 2021 and 2022. Such cells resulted from a stratified two‐stage sampling design. The 132,292 birds recorded in this study, together with their reproduction behavior, will be used to evaluate national breeding population ...

Commons are cared for: Coexistence between humans and wild birds on the island of Kihnu, Estonia

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 960-973, May 2025.
Abstract Local knowledge is an essential dimension of humanity's relationship with the environment. Investigating the interdependence between humans and wild birds holds value in fostering a mutually beneficial relationship with avian populations. Gathering bird eggs is a significant practice for Kihnu islanders in Estonia.

Plio‐Pleistocene Environmental Changes Drove the Settlement of Aotearoa New Zealand by Australian Open‐Habitat Bird Lineages

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, February 2025.
ABSTRACT In a changing environment, vacant niches can be filled either by adaptation of local taxa or range‐expanding invading species. The relative tempo of these patterns is of key interest in the modern age of climate change. Aotearoa New Zealand has been a hotspot of biogeographic research for decades due to its long‐term isolation and dramatic ...

Haemosporidian infections are more common in breeding shorebirds than in migrating shorebirds

Ibis, Volume 166, Issue 4, Page 1354-1367, October 2024.
Migrating animals are thought to be important spillover sources for novel pathogens. Haemosporidians (malaria‐related parasites) are one such group of pathogens that commonly spillover into novel host communities if competent vectors are present. In birds, shorebirds (sandpipers, plovers and allies) perform some of the longest avian migrations, yet ...

TRADITIONAL RURAL WETLANDS IN HARYANA STATE OF INDIA ARE CURRENTLY CONFRONTING MULTICORNERED THREATS LEADING TO EXTINCTION SOONER THAN LATER

Journal of Tropical Life Science, 2012
The most serious threat to traditional rural ponds in Haryana is associated with transformed societal behavioural patterns, ethics, values and life style, amongst several others. The siltation of ponds with adjoining areas, soil coming in with rain water

The causes and implications of sex role diversity in shorebird breeding systems

Ibis, Volume 166, Issue 2, Page 357-385, April 2024.
Males and females often exhibit different behaviours during mate acquisition, pair‐bonding and parenting, and a convenient label to characterize these behaviours is sex role. The diverse roles that male and female shorebirds (plovers, sandpipers and allies) exhibit in mating and parenting have played a key role in advancing mainstream theories in avian
