Survival of Piping Plover(Charadrius melodus)chicks in the Great Lakes region
The Auk, 2013ABSTRACT. The Great Lakes population of Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus) is federally endangered, numbering between 17 and 71 pairs during 1986–2011. Recovery efforts are diverse, but a major management focus is reduction of predation on eggs and chicks.

Abstract Captive rearing of endangered species for later release is a method used to augment critically small populations, although studies have shown lower survival and fitness for individuals raised in captivity. Since 1992, recovery efforts for the endangered Great Lakes piping plover population have included captive rearing, but released young ...

We studied breeding vocalizations and the vocal repertoire of the endangered piping plover (Charadrius melodus Ord, 1824) to describe diversity of the species' non-learned vocalizations, provide a basis for comparative studies, and enable standardization of terminology and interpretation of vocal classes for management purposes.

Female site familiarity increases fledging success in Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus)
The Auk, 2012ABSTRACT. Reproductive success commonly improves with age in birds. However, it is difficult to determine whether this phenomenon is due to breeding experience or other age-related factors because most potential explanatory factors are positively correlated.

Piping plovers breed in coastal areas where they experience intense competition with man. I studied habitat use (using transects) and foraging behavior (using focal animals) at three habitats on each of three nesting beaches over a 2-yr period (1988–1989) in New Jersey, USA, to understand how plovers use space.

Biological Conservation, 1998
Abstract Up to 5% of the world piping plover Charadrius melodus population breed on the beaches of Lake Diefenbaker, Saskatchewan so reproductive success there is likely important to the future prospects of this species. We collected data on nest initiation dates, nest elevations, hatching and fledging dates, survival rates of chicks and causes of ...

Journal of Coastal Research, 2008
Abstract Most migrant shorebirds require coastal and estuarine habitat in the nonbreeding season and their overwinter survival is contingent upon the composition and quality of these winter sites. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the distribution and abundance of the piping plover, a federally threatened and ...

Collision with wind turbines is an increasing conservation concern for migratory birds that are already facing many threats. A proliferation of proposals for single-turbine wind projects on U.S. Atlantic beaches where piping plovers nest poses a potential threat to this species.

The Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) is an imperiled shorebird that inhabits sandy beaches along the North American Atlantic Coast. The species' decline has been attributed to habitat loss, disturbance, and predation throughout its range, although most conservation efforts have focused on increasing reproductive output during the breeding season.

This study examines the status of Piping Plover, Charadrius melodus Ord., in Nova Scotia, the hypothesis that recreational activities adversely affect plover reproductive success, and the effectiveness of Piping · Plover interpretation signs. Research, largely undertaken in 1983, was centered at Johnstons Pond, Shelburne Co., although visits were made ...
