Age‐specific survival and recruitment of piping plovers Charadrius melodus in the Great Lakes region

Journal of Avian Biology, 2014
Juvenile survival and age at first breeding (i.e. recruitment) are critical parameters affecting population dynamics in birds, but high levels of natal dispersal preclude measurement of these variables in most species. We used multi‐state capture–recapture models to measure age‐specific survival and recruitment probabilities of ...

Plasticity of Least Tern and Piping Plover nesting behaviors in response to sand temperature [PDF]

, 2020
Birds that nest on the ground in open areas, such as Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus) and Interior Least Terns (Sternula antillarum athalassos), are exposed to high temperatures in thermally stressful environments.

Nest Site Characteristics of Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus) on the South Fork of Long Island, NY [PDF]

, 2014
To properly manage the populations of endangered birds it is important to understand the factors affecting nest survival. Ground nesting birds, such as the Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus), are at risk of nest loss from predation and tidal flooding ...

Demographic Consequences of Off-River Nesting for Piping Plover (\u3ci\u3eCharadrius melodus\u3c/i\u3e) and Interior Least Tern (\u3ci\u3eSternula antillarum athalassos\u3c/i\u3e) in the Lower Platte River System, Nebraska [PDF]

Piping plovers (Charadrius melodus; hereafter, plovers) and interior least terns (Sternula antillarum athalassos; hereafter, terns) are two avian species that nest along the Lower Platte River system (LPRS) in Nebraska.
