Flight initiation distances of nesting Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus) in response to human disturbance [PDF]
Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2016 Birds frequently interact with people when they occur in coupled human-ecological or anthropogenic environments, which makes the protection of legally protected species a challenge.

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2006 Small, at-risk populations are those for which accurate demographic information is most crucial to conservation and recovery, but also where data collection is constrained by logistical challenges and small sample sizes.

Birds, 2022 Shorebirds commonly exhibit cathemeral activity and commonly forage throughout a 24 h period. Conservation of endangered shorebirds should then extend to protection at night, yet little data exists on overall time budgets of such species at night.

Dispersal distance is driven by habitat availability and reproductive success in Northern Great Plains piping plovers [PDF]
Movement Ecology, 2021 Background Dispersal is a critical life history strategy that has important conservation implications, particularly for at-risk species with active recovery efforts and migratory species. Both natal and breeding dispersal are driven by numerous selection

The importance of viewshed in nest site selection of a ground-nesting shorebird. [PDF]
PLoS ONEBirds and their nests are vulnerable to predation during the breeding season. Many birds have evolved nest placement strategies that minimize risk such as concealing nests in vegetation, or nesting in inaccessible cavities or on cliffs.

Smartphone-Based Distributed Data Collection Enables Rapid Assessment of Shorebird Habitat Suitability. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Understanding and managing dynamic coastal landscapes for beach-dependent species requires biological and geological data across the range of relevant environments and habitats.

Conservation Science and PracticeCommunity‐based social marketing (CBSM) is increasingly used in conservation to influence human behavior, yet its biological effectiveness is rarely evaluated. We assessed relationships between CBSM campaigns and both behavioral and demographic responses

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2010 Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus) are listed as endangered throughout Canada and the United States Great Lakes region. Most attempts to increase their numbers have focused on enhancing reproductive success.

Long-distance dispersal is asymmetrical with respect to age, sex and breeding latitude in a long-lived monogamous bird. [PDF]
J Anim EcolIn this study, we constructed joint live encounter–dead recovery models under a Bayesian multistate framework to quantify long‐distance dispersal between barnacle goose subpopulations, using long‐term mark–recapture data. We demonstrate the existence of strong male‐biased unidirectional natal dispersal, resulting from low migratory connectivity and ...

Habitat selection and potential fitness consequences of two early‐successional species with differing life‐history strategies [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Habitat selection and its relationship to fitness is a fundamental concept in ecology, but the mechanisms driving this connection are complex and difficult to detect.
