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 ...

Landscape and climatic predictors of Kentish Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus) distributions throughout Kazakhstan

Ibis, Volume 164, Issue 4, Page 949-967, October 2022., 2022
Worldwide populations of shorebirds are declining, associated with a complex interplay of climate change, predation, human disturbance and habitat degradation. Comprehensive information on the distribution and breeding ecology of shorebird populations is crucial to understand and mitigate these threats.

A Guide to Helminth Parasites Reported from Shorebirds (Charadriidae) from the Americas [PDF]

, 2021
The shorebird family Charadriidae in the Americas consists of 21 native and 7 vagrant species. Members of the family occupy a diversity of open habitats, ranging from Arctic tundra during nesting, coastal sands, and mudflats to inland prairies, savannas,

High fidelity: extra-pair fertilisations in eight Charadrius plover species are not associated with parental relatedness or social mating system [PDF]

, 2017
Extra-pair paternity is a common reproductive strategy in many bird species. However, it remains unclear why extra-pair paternity occurs and why it varies among species and populations.

A trade-off between overheating and camouflage on shorebird eggshell colouration [PDF]

, 2016
In ground-nesting birds egg colour and appearance may have evolved due to opposite selection pressures. Pigmentation and spottiness make the eggs darker and have been suggested to improve camouflage.

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.

Evaluating the ecological and behavioural factors influencing Snowy PloverCharadrius nivosusegg hatching and the potential benefits of predator exclosures [PDF]

Bird Conservation International, 2014
SummaryAn understanding of the ecological factors influencing nest success and the effectiveness of management activities focused on improving nest success can be critical to successful conservation strategies for rare or declining species. Over seven breeding seasons (2006–2012) we examined the influence of nest spacing and habitat characteristics on ...

Success of captive-rearing for a threatened shorebird

Endangered Species Research, 2013
Captive-breeding and -rearing programs have been widely used for the conservation and recovery of imperiled species, and the success of such programs should be rigorously evaluated.

Managing the Threat of Subsidized Predators for a Threatened Shorebird

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
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 ...

Evaluating the efficacy of carbachol at reducing corvid predation on artificial nests

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018
Nest predation often limits recovery of threatened and endangered birds, especially ground‐nesting species. Accordingly, a variety of techniques are used to reduce the impact of nest predation on listed species.
