Invasive Wild Pigs as Primary Nest Predators for Wild Turkeys. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 Depredation of wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) nests is a leading cause of reduced recruitment for the recovering and iconic game species. invasive wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are known to depredate nests, and have been expanding throughout the distributed ...

Subspecies Status and Population Genetic Structure in Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) [PDF]
The Auk, 2010 ABSTRACT. Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) is a migratory shorebird that is listed as endangered in Canada and the U.S. Great Lakes and as threatened throughout the rest of its breeding and winter range. We undertook a comprehensive molecular-genetic investigation to (1) address subspecific taxonomy, (2) characterize population genetic structure, and

Female site familiarity increases fledging success in Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus) [PDF]
The Auk, 2012 ABSTRACT. 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.

Using a Bayesian network to understand the importance of coastal storms and undeveloped landscapes for the creation and maintenance of early successional habitat. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Coastal storms have consequences for human lives and infrastructure but also create important early successional habitats for myriad species. For example, storm-induced overwash creates nesting habitat for shorebirds like piping plovers (Charadrius ...

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 ...

Shorebird Monitoring Using Spatially Explicit Occupancy and Abundance
Land, 2023 Loss of habitat and human disturbance are major factors in the worldwide decline of shorebird populations, including that of the threatened migratory piping plover (Charadrius melodus).

, 2010 Conservation action and habitat restoration for threatened and endangered species are often guided by anecdotal evidence. Limited time and resources are wasted on ineffective strategies, or in some cases, on management that is detrimental to the target species. Therefore, rigorous scientific study must be easily translatable into pragmatic conservation
