Are artificial agricultural ponds a suitable alternative nesting habitat for the Little Ringed Plover?

Avian Biology Research, 2019
Climatic scenarios for the Mediterranean predict an increase in drought and erratic precipitation, which may affect waterbirds breeding in freshwater habitats. Artificial wetlands may provide an alternative for these species when conditions in natural habitats deteriorate.

TERRITORY IN THE LITTLE RINGED PLOVER CHARADRIUS DUBIUS.

Ibis, 1956

Time Course and Metabolic Costs of a Humoral Immune Response in the Little Ringed Plover Charadrius dubius

Physiological and Biochemical Zoology, 2013
Despite host defense against parasites and pathogens being considered a costly life-history trait, relatively few studies have assessed the energetic cost of immune responsiveness. Knowledge of such energetic costs may help to understand the mechanisms by which trade-offs with other demanding activities occur.

Comparison of the breeding habitats of Little Ringed PloverCharadrius dubiusand Kentish PloverCharadrius alexandrinuson a shingle bed

Bird Study, 2000
The breeding habitat preferences of Kentish Plover and Little Ringed Plover were studied on a shingle bed. The location of each nest was measured as the distance to the sea wall, nearest pond and nearest path. The habitat surrounding nests was measured at radii of 0.15 m and 15 m as the proportional cover of shingle, gravel, sand, live and dead ...

Old habits in a new habitat: breeding requirements of the Little Ringed Plover fit into intensively managed arable land

Journal of Ornithology, 2019
Arable land is habitat maintained by man that is inhabited by many steppe and wetland species. Due to the intensification of agriculture during the twentieth century, many of these species went into decline or have disappeared. The Little Ringed Plover (Charadrius dubius) is one of a small number of exceptions that are showing the opposite trend ...

Little Ringed PloversCharadrius dubiusin Britain in 1984

Bird Study, 1989
The 1984 census revealed that the population of Little Ringed Plovers summering in Britain had increased by approximately 30% since 1973 to a minimum of 608 pairs, thus continuing the upward trend which began in the 1940s. There was an extension of range westwards and an expansion within the northern part of the existing range.

Breeding of Little Ringed PloversCharadrius dubiusin farmland: do nests in fields suffer from predation?

Bird Study, 2007
Capsule Fishponds and fields were equally attractive for breeding plovers, although predation on nests was higher in fishponds and extremely low in fields.

Wintering sites and habitat use at stopover sites of Little Ringed Plover Thinornis dubius breeding in the Netherlands

Wader Study
We used geolocators recording ambient light, conductivity and wet/dry conditions to study the migration of Little Ringed Plovers Thinornis dubius breeding in the Netherlands. Little Ringed Plovers breeding in western Europe mostly migrate in the autumn towards the inner Niger delta in western Africa, mainly using stopover sites around the Mediterranean
