Morphological characteristics influence the spatial mixing patterns of shorebirds at Shengjin Lake [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The coexistence of species with similar ecological niches is one of the core interests of community ecology research. However, how functional feeding traits, including bill size and leg length, determine the niche of mixed flocks of shorebird species has

Probing of heavy metals in the feathers of shorebirds of Central Asian Flyway wintering grounds [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2020
The study is intended to deliver the incidence of heavy metals in the feathers of shorebirds from two important Central Asian Flyway (CAF) migratory shorebirds wintering sites such as the Point Calimere Wildlife Sanctuary (PWLS) and Pichavaram Mangrove ...

Effects of Migration Distance on Shifting Migratory and Breeding Phenology in Waders. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Short‐distance migrants arrive earlier and are advancing laying at a faster rate than long‐distance species, particularly in warmer springs. Early arrival does not always result in earlier laying, but short‐distance migrants can exploit favourable conditions and lay before many long‐distance migrants arrive.

Abundance, Distribution and Population Trends of Waterbirds in the Usangu Wetland: A Biodiversity Hotspot Threatened by Human Activities. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Waterbirds play vital ecological roles in wetland ecosystems. This study reports variations for 34 species of waterbirds across study sites of Usangu Wetland abundance with distribution bias in rice farms. The waterbird population trend is declining because of habitat alteration and hunting hence conservation measures should be taken to enhance ...

TRADITIONAL RURAL WETLANDS IN HARYANA STATE OF INDIA ARE CURRENTLY CONFRONTING MULTICORNERED THREATS LEADING TO EXTINCTION SOONER THAN LATER [PDF]

Journal of Tropical Life Science, 2012
The most serious threat to traditional rural ponds in Haryana is associated with transformed societal behavioural patterns, ethics, values and life style, amongst several others. The siltation of ponds with adjoining areas, soil coming in with rain water

Monitoring Effectiveness of an Operational Project on Two Threatened Landbirds: Applying a Before–After Threat Analysis and Threat Reduction Assessment

Land, 2023
Human activities are at the origin of anthropogenic threats altering ecosystems at any hierarchical level. To mitigate them, environmental managers develop projects to obtain effective outcomes on biological targets of conservation concern.

Consequences of migratory distance, habitat distribution and season on the migratory process in a short distance migratory shorebird population

Movement Ecology, 2023
Background The migratory process in birds consists of alternating periods of flight and fueling. Individuals of some populations make few flights and long stopovers, while others make multiple flights between short stopovers.

“Coastal” versus “inland” shorebird species: interlinked fundamental dichotomies between their life- and demographic histories? [PDF]

, 2003
In this contribution I present an extended but testable hypothesis (or “evolutionary scenario”) to explain how and why many life-history features of latitudinal migrant shorebirds, basically characterised by the correlation between habitat choice in the ...

Wetland birds of middle Vistula River during breeding season: the impact of human activities on the distribution, abundance and richness of species

Studia Ecologiae et Bioethicae, 2020
The inventory of birds was conducted in the years 2005-2010 on the Vistula River section between Dęblin (km 388 of the river) and Podwierzbie (km 435 of the river). The study area includes a southern section of the European Ecological Natura 2000 Site in
