The effect of top predator removal on the distribution of a mesocarnivore and nest survival of an endangered shorebird

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2021
For trophic systems regulated by top-down processes, top carnivores may determine species composition of lower trophic levels. Removal of top predators could therefore cause a shift in community composition.

Hurricane Sandy and engineered response created habitat for a threatened shorebird

Ecosphere, 2019
The intensity of Atlantic Ocean hurricanes is predicted to increase, and although disturbance is recognized as a fundamental driver of ecological processes, the benefits of hurricanes to ecological systems are seldom acknowledged.

[Food habits and winter diet of Charadrius melodus (Charadriiformes: Charadriidae) in Boca Ciega, Tamaulipas, Mexico].

Revista de biologia tropical, 2013
The Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) is a migratory endangered species that arrives, along with a great number of other winter migratory birds, to Boca Ciega every year. In spite of the importance of this ecosystem, these species, are threatened by the current habitat change caused by the dredging activities in the area.

Direct and indirect effects of nesting density on survival and breeding propensity of an endangered shorebird

Ecosphere, 2019
Density‐dependent regulation is a fundamental part of ecological theory and a significant driver of animal demography often through complex feedback loops.

Age‐specific survival and recruitment of piping plovers Charadrius melodus in the Great Lakes region

Journal of Avian Biology, 2014
Juvenile survival and age at first breeding (i.e. recruitment) are critical parameters affecting population dynamics in birds, but high levels of natal dispersal preclude measurement of these variables in most species. We used multi‐state capture–recapture models to measure age‐specific survival and recruitment probabilities of ...
