Spatiotemporal and weather effects on the reproductive success of piping plovers on Prince Edward Island, Canada [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Piping plovers (Charadrius melodus sp.) rank among North America's most endangered shorebird species, facing compounding environmental challenges that reduce habitat availability and suppress recruitment and survival rates.

The Influence of Tide, Wind, and Habitat on the Abundance and Foraging Rate of Three Species of Imperiled Plovers in Southwest Florida, USA [PDF]

Animals, 2023
Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus), Snowy Plover (Charadrius nivosus), and Wilson’s Plover (Charadrius wilsonia) are imperiled species that overlap in both their range and habitat outside the breeding season.

Multi-year monitoring of Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus) and other shorebirds in The Bahamas [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2023
The Bahamas provides a wide range of crucial coastal habitats to many declining resident and migratory birds. Amongst these species is the Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus), whose breeding populations are all listed as federally threatened or endangered

Selection indicates preference in diverse habitats: a ground-nesting bird (Charadrius melodus) using reservoir shoreline. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Animals use proximate cues to select resources that maximize individual fitness. When animals have a diverse array of available habitats, those selected could give insights into true habitat preferences.

Distributing transmitters to maximize population-level representativeness in automated radio telemetry studies of animal movement [PDF]

Movement Ecology, 2023
Telemetry is a powerful and indispensable tool for evaluating wildlife movement and distribution patterns, particularly in systems where opportunities for direct observation are limited. However, the effort and expense required to track individuals often

Data integration reveals dynamic and systematic patterns of breeding habitat use by a threatened shorebird [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
Incorporating species distributions into conservation planning has traditionally involved long-term representations of habitat use where temporal variation is averaged to reveal habitats that are most suitable across time.

Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
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

Natal Versus Breeding Dispersal in Arctic Terns (Sterna paradisaea): A Banding Study From Denmark (1931–2005) [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We 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 ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short-term tactics and long-term impacts. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

The effectiveness and cost efficiency of different predator exclosure designs to increase piping plover (Charadrius melodus) nest success and fledging rate in Alberta, Canada

Conservation Science and Practice, 2023
An estimated 30% of the North American piping plover (Charadrius melodus) breeding population occurs in Canada, where it is Endangered. Predator exclosures are a common management tool across the species' range to increase nest success.
