Using GPS location data to assess red fox responses to predator exclosure setup and hatching at shorebird nests

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2023
Wire cages (i.e., predator exclosures) are frequently used to protect shorebird nests from predation. While exclosed nests often have higher survival than unexclosed nests, concerns exist over whether the conspicuous structures might draw attention of ...

Piping Plover response to coastal storms occurring during the nonbreeding season

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2015
The increase in coastal storm frequency and intensity expected under most climate change scenarios is likely to substantially modify beach configuration and associated habitats.

Conspecific density and habitat quality affect breeding habitat selection: Support for the social attraction hypothesis

Ecosphere, 2023
Breeding habitat selection is a critical component of the annual cycle because of its effect on fitness. Multiple theories of habitat selection can be differentiated by their responses to the quantity of habitat, conspecific density, and habitat quality.

Study on Phylogenetic Status of Javan Plover Bird (Charadrius, Charadriidae, Charadriiformes) through DNA Barcoding Analysis

Biosaintifika: Journal of Biology & Biology Education, 2017
Javan Plover named Charadrius javanicus is taxonomically under controversy and phylogenetically unresolved yet. Through an analysis of DNA barcode, this study aims (1) to confirm whether Javan Plover is separated species named Charadrius javanicus or a ...

Data from: Supportive wind conditions influence offshore movements of Atlantic Coast piping plovers (Charadrius melodus melodus) during fall migration

, 2021
In advance of large-scale development of offshore wind energy facilities throughout the U.S. Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), information on the migratory ecology and routes of federally threatened Atlantic coast Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus

Creating an Interactive Visual Database of Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus)

, 2016
Piping plovers (Charadrius melodus) face many threats, substantially reducing their populations. Conservation strategies have included predator control and symbolic fencing, and complex records of plovers’ reproductive success have been kept for many ...

Piping plovers demonstrate regional differences in nesting habitat selection patterns along the U.S. Atlantic coast

Ecosphere, 2021
Habitat studies that encompass a large portion of a species’ geographic distribution can explain characteristics that are either consistent or variable, further informing inference from more localized studies and improving management successes throughout

Predicted Sea‐Level Rise‐Driven Biogeomorphological Changes on Fire Island, New York: Implications for People and Plovers

Earth's Future, 2022
Forecasting biogeomorphological conditions for barrier islands is critical for informing sea‐level rise (SLR) planning, including management of coastal development and ecosystems.

Integrating Bayesian Networks to Forecast Sea‐Level Rise Impacts on Barrier Island Characteristics and Habitat Availability

Earth and Space Science, 2022
Evaluation of sea‐level rise (SLR) impacts on coastal landforms and habitats is a persistent need for informing coastal planning and management, including policy decisions, particularly those that balance human interests and habitat protection throughout

Adult piping plover habitat selection varies by behavior

Ecosphere, 2021
Piping plovers (Charadrius melodus, “plover”) are beach‐nesting shorebirds that occupy their breeding range from about April to August. When plovers arrive on the breeding grounds, they select and defend territories, lay and incubate eggs, and tend to ...
