Implications of habitat‐driven survival and dispersal on recruitment in a spatially structured piping plover population

Ecosphere, 2022
Natal survival and dispersal have important consequences for populations through the movement of genes and individuals. Metapopulation theory predicts either balanced natal dispersal among regions or source–sink dynamics, which can dramatically change ...

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 ...

Patterns and processes in shorebird survival rates: a global review [PDF]

, 2018
Changes in demographic rates underpin changes in population size, and understanding demographic rates can greatly aid the design and development of strategies to maintain populations in the face of environmental changes.

Viability of piping plover Charadrius melodus metapopulations

Biological Conservation, 2000
The metapopulation viability analysis package, vortex, was used to examine viability and recovery objectives for piping plovers Charadrius melodus, an endangered shorebird that breeds in three distinct regions of North America. Baseline models indicate that while Atlantic Coast populations, under current management practices, are at little risk of near-

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 ...

Nest Site Selection by Kentish Plover Suggests a Trade-Off between Nest-Crypsis and Predator Detection Strategies [PDF]

, 2014
Predation is one of the main causes of adult mortality and breeding failure for ground-nesting birds. Micro-habitat structure around nests plays a critical role in minimizing predation risk.

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

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 ...
