Snowy Plover Nest Site Selection, Spatial Patterning, and Temperatures in the Southern High Plains of Texas [PDF]
, 2012 Snowy plover (Charadrius nivosus) populations have declined throughout their range, in part because of habitat degradation and poor nest success, making information regarding regionally specific nest site selection and spatial patterns important when ...

What can nest-building birds teach us? [PDF]
, 2016 We thank the School of Biology at the University of St Andrews for funding (AJB) and the BBSRC (LMG: BB/M013944/1 and SDH: BB/I019634/1).For many years nest building in birds has been considered a remarkable behaviour.

Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing, 2007 Coastal estuaries and beach habitat are some of the most important and productive ecosystems in Atlantic Canada. These sensitive areas are crucial for hundreds of land and marine species. Mapping and monitoring coastal habitat is important for the protection of species such as the endangered piping plover (Charadrius melodus melodus).

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

First records of Piping Plover Charadrius melodus for Venezuela, with a revision of its non-breeding distribution [PDF]
Bulletin of the British Ornithologists’ Club, 2020 The non-breeding distribution of Piping Plover Charadrius melodus outside the USA has only recently been elucidated, with new records in Central American and Caribbean countries during the last decade. A specimen from Ecuador was the only definite record in South America prior to 2018.

Provision of artificial shelter on beaches is associated with improved shorebird fledging success
, 2011 Artificial chick shelters might improve productivity of beach-nesting birds threatened by anthropogenic disturbance. We investigated the efficacy of three different chick shelter designs against four criteria: accessibility to chicks over time, thermal ...

Comparative tests of ectoparasite species richness in seabirds [PDF]
, 2007 Background: The diversity of parasites attacking a host varies substantially among different host species. Understanding the factors that explain these patterns of parasite diversity is critical to identifying the ecological principles underlying ...
