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.

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 ...

Reviewing the effects of food provisioning on wildlife immunity [PDF]
, 2018 While urban expansion increasingly encroaches on natural habitats, many wildlife species capitalize on anthropogenic food resources, which have the potential to both positively and negatively influence their responses to infection.

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

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Many birds use wetland habitats for all or part of their lives. This study was conducted to investigate the significance of wetlands and associated habitats for bird conservation in the central zone of Tigray, northern Ethiopia, from June 2022 to May 2023. The point count method was used to study the bird assemblage structure and diversity. The Shannon–

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Altitude is one of the determinant factors that influence the spatial distribution of birds and their species richness. However, few investigations studied its influence on African bird communities over a wide gradient in North Africa. Considering this knowledge gap, 194 sampling points were carried out along altitudinal gradient (773 to 2595 m) in two
