Effects on Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus Ord) Foraging Habitat from Sea-Level Rise: A Geographic Information Systems Approach [PDF]

, 2013
Sea-level rise from global climate change is becoming increasingly important especially in geographic sciences, where space and time are taken into account. Globally, the mid- Atlantic shoreline of the United States is expected to be at greater risk than

Habitat‐specific behavior, growth rate, and survival of piping plover chicks in New Jersey, USA

Ecosphere, 2021
Anthropogenic disturbance has been demonstrated to affect the behavior of beach‐nesting birds, yet the energetic consequences of recreational activities have received less attention. Because precocial chicks are often displaced as a result of disturbance

Relationships between chick vocalizations and parental absence in Kentish Plovers

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 4, Page 1437-1447, October 2026.
Chick calls within bird species vary greatly, often in relation to whether parents are present. We studied chick calls in a nidifugous shorebird, the Kentish Plover Anarhynchus alexandrinus, in three circumstances—(1) on the nest with parental presence; (2) on the nest with parental absence; and (3) out‐of‐nest with human observer presence—and ...

A Decadal Change in Shorebird Populations in Response to Temperature, Wind, and Precipitation at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, USA

Birds
Despite increasing conservation efforts for shorebirds, there are widespread declines in many shorebird species in North America. Climate change is causing significant shorebird range shifts and population declines.

Little penguins select more isolated nest boxes for breeding, but lay date influences breeding success

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
We determined that more isolated and possibly older nest boxes were selected by little penguins for breeding at Pōhatu/Flea Bay, New Zealand. However, breeding success was influenced by lay date in comparison to nest box characteristics. These findings inform immediate conservation recommendations regarding nest box design and placement.

Managing the Threat of Subsidized Predators for a Threatened Shorebird

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 4, Page 443-454, August 2026.
Subsidized predators—native predators that have become more common due to human activities—challenge the persistence of many at‐risk prey species and require creative solutions beyond lethal predator control. In an 8‐year study, we placed small wire cages over western snowy plover nests that allow passage of plovers, but not their predators, and ...
