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

Metapopulation viability of an endangered shorebird depends on dispersal and human-created habitats: piping plovers (Charadrius melodus) and prairie rivers. [PDF]
Mov Ecol, 2016 Many species are distributed as metapopulations in dynamic landscapes, where habitats change through space and time. Individuals locate habitat through dispersal, and the relationship between a species and landscape characteristics can have profound effects on population persistence.

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.

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.

Predator Exclosures Enhance Reproductive Success but Increase Adult Mortality of Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus) [PDF]
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.

Biotic and abiotic factors affecting Atlantic ghost crab (Ocypode quadrata) spatiotemporal activity at an important shorebird nesting site in Virginia. [PDF]
PLoS ONEAtlantic ghost crabs (Ocypode quadrata) are predators of beach-nesting shorebird nests and chicks on the United States' Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Ghost crabs may also disturb birds, altering foraging, habitat use, or nest and brood attendance patterns ...

, 1994 The Piping Plover is an endangered shorebird. In Kejimkujik National Park - Seaside Adjunct the number of nesting pairs has dwindled from 33 in 1975 to 4 in 1992. Measures taken to protect nesting Piping Plovers include intensive monitoring of the beach for plovers and nests, enclosing Piping Plover nests to protect them from predation, and restricting
